Jeremy Renner gives his news after the accident

Rose Highway area “, not far from the city of Reno, around 9 a.m. on the first day of the year. Jeremy Renner has property in the area near Mount Rose-Ski Tahoe, located about 25 miles from Reno.
Darin Balaam, the Washoe County Sheriff, gave a press conference on Tuesday, January 3, to give some information on the investigation opened into the conditions of the accident. he first results of the investigation have established that the facts are part of a “tragic accident”. Jeremy Renner was driving a snow groomer to clear the snow that was stuck in the car of one of his family members.

A mechanical failure?
The investigation is continuing to find out if Jeremy Renner’s “snowcat” has malfunctioned. It was also seized at 8 p.m. Sunday evening by the police. According to the sources consulted by TMZ, the machine should not have knocked over Jeremy Renner, as it has many security features. Recall, however, that the police had previously told Deadline that Jeremy Renner “was the only party involved in the incident”. The investigation must therefore determine what exactly happened. Did Jeremy Renner make a mistake while handling his snowmobile? Did the Snowcat security system fail? Did something else change the situation? According to the sheriff, the approximately six-tonne PistenBully snow groomer began to roll automatically, the actor being injured while “trying to get back to the driver’s seat”.
A neighboring doctor could have quickly put a tourniquet on the comedian, thus probably limiting the damage while the help arrives on the spot, according to TMZ.
