Jeremy Renner lost a lot of blood in the snow-plowing accident
Eyewitnesses told TMZ that the incident occurred on January 1 when Jeremy Renner was plowing a road a quarter mile from his residence so that his family could get out after the snowstorm.
According to one neighbor, despite the safety measures taken, the plowing machine ran over Jeremy Renner's legs which caused a lot of blood loss.
While the incident happened, another neighbor, who is a doctor by profession, put a tourniquet on his injured leg until the emergency services arrived at the spot. He was then airlifted to a hospital.
The publication also revealed that the area of the incident was treated like an active crime scene.
