Marvel actor Jeremy Renner was airlifted to hospital on Sunday with 'extensive injuries' after the snowcat he was using to plow his driveway ran him over.
Renner, a two-time Oscar nominee, was alone and trying to clear a path out of his Lake Tahoe home with his PistenBully, a type of snow groomer made by the German manufacturer Kassbohrer.
TMZ reports that the vehicle's safety features failed, and caused it to roll over Renner's leg, around a quarter mile from the property.
A neighbor who is also a doctor put a tourniquet on the injured leg to stem the bleeding, but Renner suffered significant blood loss by the time he was airlifted out of the scene at 9.50am.
The 51-year-old remains in critical but stable condition in the hospital.
TMZ cites sources close to the star who say he suffered injuries on other parts of his body and not just the leg.

It's unclear how long he's owned the PistenBully groomer, or whether he bought it second-hand.
Kassbohrer did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries on Monday morning.
The type of PistenBully Renner owns is no longer available for sale on the company's website.
Similar models are described on second-hand sale sites as 'vintage'.
The actor's representatives confirmed yesterday that his family was with him in the hospital.
'We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow earlier today.
'His family is with him and he is receiving excellent care.'
