American actor Jeremy Renner is in “critical but stable condition” after undergoing surgery on Monday following a snowplowing accident over the weekend.
Renner, who is well-known for his role as Hawkeye in Marvel Studios' Avengers franchise, was at his home in Reno, Nevada when the accident happened on Sunday.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Renner’s rep confirmed the actor suffered serious injuries.
"We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today, January 2nd 2023. He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition,” Renner's rep said.
According to a CNN report, the Hurt Locker actor has required two surgeries so far.
In a news release, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to a "traumatic injury" around 9 a.m. on Sunday near Mt. Rose Highway in Reno.
The sheriff's office did not release details on what caused the accident but did confirm the 51-year-old actor was the only person injured in the incident.
He was airlifted to the hospital.
Northern Nevada was hit with a major storm on New Year's Eve, causing thousands of homes to lose power after a heavy snowfall, according to the Reno Gazette Journal.
Renner frequently posts photos and videos from Lake Tahoe on his Instagram page, a place he calls his "happy place."
The posts show snowmobiles and snowplows that he has on the property.
He's also shown fans what winter conditions look like in Nevada.
On December 12 he tweeted a photo of a car buried in snow and wrote "Lake Tahoe snowfall is no joke."

He will also star in a new show called Rennervations, which will have Renner travelling around the world and helping communities "reimagine unique purpose-built vehicles," as described on the show's IMDb page.
Just days before the accident, Renner posted a short teaser clip from the show on his Instagram page.
The New York Times reports the show is set to be released on Disney+ early in 2023.
