"While it was not snowing at the time of the accident, Mt. Rose Highway was closed," he said. By 9:30 a.m., first responders arrived. At 9:56 a.m., "Mr. Renner was taken via care flight" to a hospital.
Balaam also described how the accident involving the "Mission: Impossible" actor happened. Per Balaam, a personal vehicle of Renner's, which was being driven by a family member, became stuck. Renner subsequently retrieved his PistenBully, a 14,000-pound snowcat.

"In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr. Renner attempted to get back into the driver's seat," Balaam said. "Based on our investigation, it's at this point Mr. Renner is run over by the PistenBully."
"We believe this was a tragic accident," Balaam said. "This investigation is ongoing. We do not suspect any foul play."
