Renner underwent two surgeries after which he remained in the intensive care unit.

He was the only party involved in the accident, according to local authorities and, currently, “his family is with him and he is receiving excellent care.”

“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,” a representative of the actor said through a statement.

Some hours ago, the actor posted on his Instagram account for the first time after the accident.

“Thank you all for your kind words. Im (sic) too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all,” he wrote.

On Tuesday, his sister, Kym, gave another update about her brother’s recovery. CBS 13 reporter Steve Large reported Kim to have said, “We are so thrilled with his progress. If anyone knows Jeremy, he is a fighter and doesn’t mess around. He is crushing all the progress goals. We couldn’t feel more positive about the road ahead.”

Renner, 51, is known for his heart of gold and the help he provides for his community.
