Actor Jeremy Renner, who is known for playing Hawkeye in Marvel movies, is in a "critical but stable condition" after he suffered an injured while ploughing snow in Nevada's Reno over the New Year's Eve weekend

The Academy Award-nominated actor who most recently stars in The Mayor of Kingstown, was at home near Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe during New Year's Eve.

According to reports, the region witnessed a heavy winter storm on New Year’s Eve, where around 35,000 homes across Northern Nevada’s Washoe, Carson, Douglas and Lyon counties lost power for more than a day

The accident took place on Sunday, and the actor was soon airlifted to the nearby hospital.

Presently, the actor is surrounded by his family and is receiving "excellent care," said his spokesperson.

Jeremy Renner was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar in 2010 for Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, and then went on to score a nomination for Supporting Actor consecutively for the next year for The Town.
