Jeremy Renner was hospitalized on New Year's Day following an accident involving a snow plow.
"As of now, we can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow earlier today," his rep said in a statement.
"His family is with him and he is receiving excellent care," the statement concluded.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office also released a statement on the incident on Sunday night, saying they "responded to a traumatic injury in the area of Mt. Rose Highway in Reno, Nevada."
"Upon arrival, deputies coordinated with Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and REMSA Health to arrange for medical transport of Mr. Jeremy Renner via care flight to a local area hospital," said officials. "Mr. Renner was the only involved party in the incident."
"The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Major Accident Investigation Team is currently looking into the circumstances of the incident."
No other details were made immediately available, though TMZ reported Renner's Snowcat ran over one of his legs and he was losing a lot of blood from the injury. A neighbor put a tourniquet on his leg until paramedics arrived and took him away via helicopter.
Renner often shows off the snowy conditions around his home on social media. A few videos posted to his Holiday archive in the last two weeks show him driving a plow around his property with the captions, "Pave new paths. Holiday adventures," "Who is excited for the Holidays?" and "Nearly done with sledding hill for the kids."
