Washoe County Sheriff's Department officials responded to the bloody scene, which was reported by a neighbor shortly before 9 a.m. Renner was attempting to help his nephew, Alex Fries, move a truck which was stuck in the snow. Renner exited the snowplow to check on his nephew, but it kept moving, so he jumped back on to stop the snowplow only to get caught in the tread. 

After Renner was transported away from the scene, a paramedic could be heard saying, "I've never seen anything like this." Fries recalled the situation to authorities. "You can almost see where he spun around, where the wheels are at," he said.

In April, Renner walked the red carpet for his Disney+ show "Rennervations" with his daughter amid his lengthy recovery. The two matched as they walked hand-in-hand down the carpet. Renner wore a blue suit, and Ava complemented him in a blue dress.

Renner used a cane to help him walk down the carpet.
