Early Monday morning, both friends and colleagues came together to send out their well-wishes and prayers when the various reports started to make the rounds that famed actor Jeremy Renner had been severely injured in an accident.
Well-known for the role he plays as the comic superhero Hawkeye in a number of films within the Marvel cinematic universe, Renner reportedly received a number of serious injuries when the snow plow he was operating to clear off his Nevada driveway ended up rolling over his legs.
The highly popular entertainment website, TMZ, shared a video of the well-known actor being emergency airlifted out to a local hospital and issued a report that a neighbor — who happened to be a doctor — had been able to make it to the actor prior to the area first responders getting to the scene and had performed first aid by applying a tourniquet to slow down the intense bleeding.
“My God,” posted another actor, Josh Gas, to social media in the wake of the news breaking. “Praying for @jeremyrenner and his family.”

Christopher Yost, a comic writer, also chimed in to wish Renner a speedy recovery, adding, “Wishing @JeremyRenner a full and speedy recovery. I remember feeding him a hundred different lines for his scene in Thor, he was out in the fake rain for hours on a cold night, up in a cherry picker with a bow and arrow. Couldn’t be more game, an incredibly nice, genuine guy.”
