The Washoe County Sheriff's Office says actor Jeremy Renner was trying to tow his nephew's truck when he got out and his snowplow rolled over him breaking more than 30 of his bones.
According to the office's incident report, Renner jumped out of the snowplow without setting the emergency brake, and when he tried to stop it from hitting his nephew and truck, he was pulled under the machine.
Renner's nephew then got into the snowplow in an attempt to stop it.
After striking the truck, the snowplow continued to move where it eventually came to a stop after hitting a snow embankment.
The reports also says that investigators believe if Renner had set the emergency brake, the vehicle which may have had some mechanical issues, would not have crushed him.
Renner is currently recovering at home from the injuries he suffered during the accident.

Jeremy Renner suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries in a snow plow accident in Reno on Sunday and remains in critical but stable condition after undergoing surgery.
A publicist for Renner said in a statement that the 51-year-old “Avengers” star is in an intensive care unit following surgery on Monday.
On Thursday, a video was posted to his Twitter page showing him wearing an oxygen mask while laying in his hospital bed. His mother and sister are seen in the video by his hospital bedside.

According to the Associated Press, Mayor Hillary Schieve, who said she was a friend of Renner, said he was aiding a stranded motorist when he was injured.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office said earlier this week Renner was ran over by his own Pistenbully while helping a family member's car get unstuck.
The machine started to simply move forward when it ran over Renner, according to Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam.
Balaam added that mechanics are working to impound the Pistenbully and rule out any issues the machine might have.
WCSO said that after Renner was injured, nearby neighbors brought out towels and provided medical aid.
Mt. Rose Hwy was closed at the time and fresh snow was around 3 feet high on the private road Renner was injured on.
At 9:37 a.m., REMSA's Care Flight landed and transported Renner to the hospital.
“Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve" and others, read the statement. “They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans.”
Authorities and Renner's representative haven't said how the accident occurred. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office said late Sunday that Renner had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital for treatment.

“The Avengers” star Jeremy Renner is being treated for serious injuries that happened while he was plowing snow, the actor's representative said.
Renner, 51, is in critical condition although he is stable, the actor's representative said Sunday. No further details on the extent of Renner's injuries were available.
The actor has a home in Nevada. The Washoe County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that Renner was injured in Reno and was flown to a hospital. He was the only person involved, and the sheriff's office is investigating, according to the release.
Renner plays Hawkeye, a sharp-shooting member of the superhero Avengers squad in Marvel's sprawling movie and television universe.
He is a two-time acting Oscar nominee, scoring back-to-back nods for “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town.” Renner's portrayal of a bomb disposal specialist in Iraq in 2008's “The Hurt Locker” helped turn him into a household name.
“The Avengers" in 2012 cemented him as part of Marvel's grand storytelling ambitions, with his character appearing in several sequels and getting its own Disney+ series, “Hawkeye.”
