Jeremy Renner issues message to fans after snow ploughing accident

Jeremy Renner has issued a message to fans following his terrifying snow ploughing accident on New Year's Day.

Earlier this month, the Marvel actor was airlifted to hospital after being run over by an "extremely large piece of snow-removal equipment" that he owns near Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

At the time, a spokesperson for the star told The Hollywood Reporter: "We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather-related accident while ploughing snow earlier today.

"His family is with him, and he is receiving excellent care."
