He had been trying to clear the snow that had fallen near his home to free a vehicle that was being driven by a family member, using his personal snowplough, a PistenBully weighing at least 14,330lb (6.5 tonnes).
Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said in a press conference that Renner had successfully freed the vehicle and had exited the snowplough to talk to his relative, when the ‘extremely large’ piece of machinery began to roll.

Balaam said: “In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr Renner attempts to get back into the driver’s seat of the PistenBully.
“Based on our investigation, it’s at this point that Mr Renner is run over by the PistenBully.”
TMZ has reported that one of Renner’s neighbours, who is a doctor, applied a tourniquet to his leg to stop blood loss.

The star had previously been sharing photos of the huge snowfall around his home in Lake Tahoe.
And Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, commented: “Tough as nails. Love you buddy.”

Paul Bettany wrote: “Love you mate. Sending you love and healing.”
Other celebrities including Isla Fisher, Penelope Cruz, Vanessa Hudgens, Jimmy Fallon and Taika Waititi have also publicly sent well-wishes to Renner.

Lord of the Rings live in concert is coming to Manchester
Danny Jones
The fellowship is not lost: JRR Tolkien fans are being invited to come along to see the beloved first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy live in concert here in Manchester.
Undoubtedly, some of the most beautifully shot and, crucially, rousingly scored Hollywood blockbusters in history, the LotR movie soundtracks still remain among the most iconic to this day.
So just imagine how incredible they must be to witness it in the flesh…
Well, that opportunity is just on the horizon, as a live performance of The Fellowship of the Ring by a fully-fledged live band is coming to the city centre’s biggest indoor arena later this year.
Available either as an evening or matinee show, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring – In Concert’ arrives this winter at Co-op Live.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the iconic Academy Award-winning film, which kick-started a mega franchise both on the big and the small screen nowadays, what better way to toast the date than by rewatching it like never before?
Teaming up with the one and only Hallé – Manchester’s premier orchestra since 1858 – the production will be bringing Howard Shore’s legendary original scores to life in person as they soundtrack the epic motion picture playing behind them.
We’ve got chills just thinking about some of those scenes: the council of Elrond in Rivendell; the ‘Argonath’ passing, that first stunning New Zealand vista as Middle-Earth, and SO many more.
Here’s a sample of what it’s like to hear those instantly recognisable sounds live:
Come on, how incredible is this?
For those looking to attend the Manchester showings of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring – In Concert, as always, official Co-op members will be granted early access through the venue’s presale window.
This will open at 10am on Wednesday, 25 March; meanwhile, general admission tickets will then be available from the same time the following Friday (27 Mar).
