Actor known for playing Hawkeye in the MCU, Jeremy Renner, became the victim of a snow accident on New Year’s Day
Victim of an accident in the snow last Sunday, 01, Jeremy Rennera star known for giving life to the superhero Hawkeye since 2011 in the Marvel Cinematographic Universe, underwent two surgeries and has been hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Nevada, in the United States since then.
According to witnesses, the actor had one of his legs crushed by a Snowcat while trying to help a stranger who had had his car buried by the blizzard near his home in Washoe County.
Additionally, TMZ had access to the record of the call made to 911 at the time the actor was hit by the big machine. Notes on the US emergency response call reveal that Renner was “completely crushed” by the snowcat and that he had “extreme difficulty” breathing. “But what’s a Snowcat?”

The Snowcat is a tracked vehicle normally used by inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere, since it was developed to travel through soft soils, thus serving to facilitate locomotion in the snow after heavy snowfall.
This type of car has an enclosed cabin designed to protect drivers from the cold temperatures that normally stay below zero or cold conditions aggravated by winds or storms.
The vehicle is large and tall, having its size equivalent to that of a truck. Its design resembles that of a tractor, since, to roll over the snow, these machines have tracks made of rubber, aluminum or steel on the outside, which are driven by a single toothed wheel on each side of the vehicle. The inside of the mats is made of solid foam.
In addition to its height and width, the vehicle draws attention to its weight, which, as it is common for them to easily exceed four digits in weight, as is the case of the model that collided with Rennersince, according to The Independent, the model of the machine used by the actor is called Pistenbully and it weighs at least 6.5 thousand kilos.
Based on cars used on a daily basis, the weight of the Pistenbully is equivalent to a little more than three ordinary vehicles, since an average car weighs about 2 thousand kilos, according to the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States.
