On Sunday, Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner underwent surgery after suffering injuries from a snow plow accident.
At the time, a representative for Renner shared with People:
"We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today."
"He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition."
Yesterday—just two days after the incident—Renner took to Instagram to update fans.
Renner posted a painful-looking selfie with the caption:
"Thank you all for your kind words."
"I'm too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all."
Many—including fellow Avengers—shared their relief as well as their continued support for Renner.

In a press conference held yesterday, Washoe County Sheriff's Office detailed the incident and assured they are handling the investigation as they would any other accident investigation.
Sheriff Darin Balaam reported on the investigation so far:
"Based on our investigation, Mr. Renner's personal vehicle, which was being driven by a family member, had become stuck in the snow near his home."
"Mr. Renner went to retrieve his PistenBully [snowplow] or snowcat, an extremely large piece of snow removal equipment, weighing at least 14,330 pounds, in an effort to get his vehicle moving."
"After successfully towing his personal vehicle from its stuck location, Mr. Renner got out of his PistenBully to speak to a family member. At this point, it is observed that the PistenBully started to roll."
"In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr. Renner attempts to get back into the driver's seat of the PistenBully."
"Based on our investigation, it's at this point that Mr. Renner is run over by the PistenBully."
"An eyewitness detailed seeing Mr. Renner get into the PistenBully and not seeing him again until the PistenBully came to a rest in a pile of snow in front of his driveway."
"At this point in the investigation, we do not believe Mr. Renner was impaired at all, and we believe this is a tragic accident."
