“The Pistenbully snow groomer began sliding causing Renner to exit the vehicle without setting the emergency brake,” reads the conclusion of the report, which CNN obtained by way of a public information request.
“Although the Pistenbully had some mechanical issues, it is believed based on our mechanical inspection that the parking brake would keep the Pistenbully from moving forward.
“When Renner tried to cease or divert the Pistenbully to keep away from damage to (his nephew), he was pulled below the automobile by the monitor and run over.”
The brake indicator light inside the snowcat’s cab was not functioning, and “mechanical points might have been an element on this accident”, the report also notes.
The nephew was able to help Renner until help arrived, the report states.
Renner was airlifted to the hospital, where he stayed for more than two weeks, undergoing at least two surgeries and being treated in the intensive care unit.
Impairment was not believed to be a factor in the incident, the report also concludes. CNN has reached out to Renner’s representatives for comment.
Moving track pulled actor under, report states
The incident began on New Year’s Day, when Renner towed his nephew’s truck off the actor’s driveway after it had been stuck in snow, he told investigators on January 5 while hospitalised, according to the incident report.
After towing the truck into the street, the snowplow began “sliding sideways”, then “it started to roll down the hill”, Renner said.
At that point, Renner jumped out of the snowcat, he told investigators.
“Once he was off the Pistenbully, he realized it was heading straight towards (his nephew),” the report reads.
“He feared the Pistenbully was going to hit (his nephew), so he determined to aim to cease or divert the Pistenbully.”
To enter the snowplow’s cab, Renner had to climb onto its moving track and was “instantly pulled below the left aspect monitor”, the report notes.
Renner was “fully crushed below a big snowcat (automobile)” and had “excessive (problem) respiratory”, with “the precise aspect of his chest … collapsed — higher torso is crushed”, a 911 call log obtained by CNN said.
“The Pistenbully rolled over him and continued down the highway,” the report says.
“He laid on the bottom and centered on his respiratory whereas (his nephew and others) rendered assist to him till medical personnel arrived on scene.”
Renner, who plays superhero archer Hawkeye in the Marvel movie and TV Universe, broke more than 30 bones in the incident, he has said.
“Morning exercises, resolutions all modified this explicit new years,” he said.
“Spawned from tragedy for my complete household, and rapidly centered into uniting actionable love ❤️ I need to thank EVERYONE for his or her messages and thoughtfulness for my household and I …. Much love and appreciation to you all.
“These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens . Love and blessings to you all.”
