According to authorities, Renner had been helping a family member who was driving the car and had gotten stuck, Sheriff Darin Balaam of Washoe County said during a news conference, The New York Times reports. It was after the family member was able to get out of the snow that Renner hoped out of the 7-ton snowplow for a moment.
