Update
According to TMZ, eyewitnesses tell us Renner was plowing the road about a quarter mile away from his Tahoe home so his family could get out after a massive snowstorm. A neighbor said that the plowing machine – called a Snowcat – accidentally ran over one of Renner’s legs, causing him to lose massive blood from the injury. Another neighbor, who is a doctor, was able to put a tourniquet on his leg until paramedics arrived. Emergency crews were initially concerned about the weather conditions to access the accident scene due to the storm.
The police arrived at 8 pm to impound the Snowcat. Renner’s snowplow machine has extensive safety features and should not have rolled over him. His injuries are described as “extensive,” and, along with his leg, other parts of his body are injured.
We will continue to update as the story develops.
