On Jan. 1, at his home in Reno, Nevada, Renner was injured following an attempt to help a family member whose vehicle was stuck in the snow. The night prior, an estimated three feet of snow had fallen.
Using his PistenBully, a 14,000-pound snowcat, Renner extricated the trapped vehicle from the driveway. After exiting the PistenBully and talking to a family member, the snowplow started to roll unexpectedly. It then crushed Renner, leaving him with serious orthopedic injuries.
Renner has since revealed he broke over 30 bones, updating fans on his multiple surgeries and healing process.

Just days ago, Renner revealed an exciting update on his recovery journey, sharing footage of himself walking using an antigravity treadmill.
In a video shared to Twitter, Renner explained how he was using "40% of his weight" to walk on the piece of machinery.
Days earlier, Renner had given an update on his beloved snowplow, that ultimately ran him over, posting to his Instagram story that the snowplow was "finally making her way home."
