Jeremy Renner underwent surgery on Monday after suffering blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries as a result of his New Year's Day snow-plowing accident.

The 51-year-old actor, known for playing Hawkeye in multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, was hospitalized after a snowplowing incident on his property in Reno, Nevada, on Sunday morning, according to a press release from the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.

After initially telling local outlets on Sunday that the star was in "critical but stable condition," his publicist Samantha Mast shared a longer statement with People on Monday.

"We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today, January 2nd 2023," the statement said.

"He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.

"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 the Carano and Murdock families. "

"They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans," the statement ended.

According to the sheriff's office, the Oscar-nominated actor was the only person involved in the incident and was airlifted to a local hospital after suffering a traumatic injury.

TMZ reported that Renner was injured while using a Snowcat to clear the road near his home in Lake Tahoe, which was hit by winter storms over the weekend.

According to the outlet, the snowplow ran over one of Renner's legs and neighbors aided him at the scene, one of whom was a doctor.

Renner had shared updates previously on the amount of snow in his area, tweeting on December 12, 2022, a photo of a car buried in snow accompanied by the words: "Lake Tahoe snowfall is no joke"
