A number of celebrities have reached out to The Avengers star on his Instagram post, including his Marvel co-stars.
Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt said: “Continued prayers your way brutha.”
While Chris Evans penned: “Tough as nails. Love you buddy.”
“Speedy recovery buddy. Sending love your way!” commented Chris Hemsworth.
Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Watiti said: “My brother I love you.“
Other celebrities including Jimmy Fallon, Orlando Bloom, Vanessa Hudgens, and Penelope Cruz also sent their thoughts and prayers to Renner.
The accident occurred after a new year snow storm hit America, leaving up to three feet of snowfall on the ground.
In a press conference held by Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam, it was said Renner was attempting to move a car that was being driven by a family member when it got stuck in the snow near the star’s home.
After fixing the situation, the Wind River actor got out of the plougher to speak to the family member.
However, the 14,000 lbs vehicle started to roll on its own, which prompted Renner to attempt to get in the driver’s seat.

“An eyewitness detailed seeing Mr Renner getting into the PistonBully, and not seeing him again until the PistonBully came to a rest in a pile of snow in front of his driveway.”
