Actor was attempting to stop six-tonne vehicle from hitting his relative after getting out without applying the emergency brake
Jeremy Renner’s snowplough accident happened as he was attempting to save his nephew and was hit by the vehicle after failing to apply the emergency brake.
According to an incident report from the Nevada sheriff’s office, obtained by Variety, Renner had used the snowplough to tow his nephew’s truck out of the snow, and after getting out without setting the brake, he attempted to stop the six-tonne plough sliding towards his nephew. The report says: “When Renner attempted to stop or divert the PistenBully [snowplough] to avoid injury to [his nephew], he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over.”
The report says that the snowplough’s brake indicator light was not working and that “mechanical issues may have been a factor in this accident”. However, it adds that “it is believed based on our mechanical inspection that the parking brake would keep the PistenBully from moving forward”.
