New details have emerged about the Sunday snowplowing incident that left actor Jeremy Renner in “critical but stable condition.”
Video footage obtained by TMZ shows a helicopter airlifting a patient it claims is Renner in a snowy area.
The airlift occurred at about 9:50 a.m. following the actor’s injury. Witnessed told the outlet that he was less than half of a mile from his Tahoe home and was plowing the area so his family could get out. The area received a barrage of snowfall on New Year’s Eve.
