Jeremy Renner’s health is said to be improving after he suffered serious injuries in a snowplow accident on New Year’s Day.

Renner’s accident happened on his property in Reno, Nevada, as he was attempting to use the snowplow to help dig his family out from a major snow storm and wound up getting run over by the machine. He was airlifted to hospital for immediate care.

“We are so thrilled with his progress. If anyone knows Jeremy, he is a fighter and doesn’t mess around,” Kym Renner, the actor’s sister, said, according to People. “He is crushing all the progress goals.”

Renner, best known for playing the role of a superhero, Hawkeye, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, suffered “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries,” and underwent surgery Jan. 2, according to People.

The actor’s sister reported on his progress with excitement and a positive outlook for the future.

“We couldn’t feel more positive about the road ahead,” she said to People. (RELATED: Doctor Removes Live Grenade From Ukrainian Soldier’s Body)
