Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner has been hospitalised following a snow ploughing accident on New Year’s Day.

Renner, best known for playing the superhero Clint Barton, or “Hawkeye,” in multiple Marvel movies, was flown to hospital.

The 51-year-old US actor was loaded onto the chopper around 9.50am local time on Sunday. Renner was alone and had been trying to clear a path out of his five-bedroom home following a massive snowstorm over the new year.

Renner is said to be in “critical but stable” condition after his Kässbohrer PistenBully snowplow accidentally ran over him.

A safety feature on the machine apparently failed, sending the heavy machinery rolling over him.

A spokesperson for the two-time Oscar-nominated actor said he was injured in Nevada “after experiencing a weather-related accident while ploughing snow.”

The actor, also known for his starring role in the Paramount+ series Mayor of Kingstown, was “receiving excellent care” in the hospital and his family was at his side.

Renner lives about 40km outside Reno near Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe, and has previously shared photos and videos of himself using his snowplow to dig out of winter storms.

A tremendous winter storm hit the area on New Year’s Eve and reportedly caused 35,000 homes to lose power.

Renner posted an Instagram video last month of himself driving a snowplow.

“I have so much respect for Mother Earth, and Mother Nature,” he wrote at the time. “I expect to lose the fight but I’ll always give it my best shot.”

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Renner was the only person injured in the incident Sunday morning.

“Deputies coordinated with Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and RESMA Health to arrange for medical transport of Mr. Jeremy Renner via care flight to a local area hospital,” the sheriff’s office said.

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Major Accident Investigation Team is looking into the circumstances of the incident.

Renner frequently posts to his 18.1 million Instagram followers about his battle with the seasonal elements in Nevada.

“Monday morning pre-winter preparation couldn’t be more fun!!” he raved in late November of the precautionary measures before he took a break for some “fun” on his property.

Meanwhile, in mid-December, he pulled out the heavy artillery to battle snowfall at his homestead in the Reno area: “Holiday preparations for friends and family,” he asked his followers. “What are your plans ??”

The California native is known for volunteering to help his adopted hometown fight weather disasters, having launched a campaign to build a Tahoe fire station in December 2021.

“I work with the fire departments up there and they are pretty awesome. They are teaching me and helping me, and I still have to get some more hours in with them,” Renner told singer and daytime talk show host Kelly Clarkson when she asked about him being a volunteer fire chief.
