Marvel superhero actor Jeremy Renner said Tuesday he was “messed up” after being run over by his own snow plough as he tried to climb into the driver’s seat of the giant six-tonne vehicle.

Renner suffered severe injuries Sunday morning near his Nevada home while attempting to halt the PistenBully machine, which had begun rolling forward after he used it to help free a stranded family member’s vehicle from heavy snow.

“In an effort to stop the rolling PistenBully, Mr Renner attempts to get back into the driver’s seat,” Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam told a press conference.

“Based on our investigation, it’s at this point that Mr Renner is run over by that PistenBully.”

Renner, who was taken by helicopter to nearby Reno, posted a selfie Tuesday from his hospital bed, showing heavy bruising on his face.

“Thank you all for your kind words. I’m too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all,” wrote Renner on Instagram.
