"The cat get a police Escort," he wrote. "Feels like the Green mile!"
Renner's snowplow accident occurred Jan. 1 when he was attempting to assist a family member whose vehicle was stuck in the snow. An estimated three feet of snow had fallen during a storm the night before in Reno, where Renner owns a home near Lake Tahoe.
Using his PistenBully, a 14,000-pound snowcat, Renner was able to successfully extricate the vehicle from his driveway. Afterward, he exited the PistenBully and was speaking to the family member when the snowplow began to roll unexpectedly.
When the "Hurt Locker" actor attempted to get back into the PistenBully to stop it from moving, he was "run over" by the massive snow groomer.
