Jeremy was reported to have been ploughing the road close to his family property near the Mt Rose-Ski Tahoe resort near Lake Tahoe, which is approximately 25 miles from Reno, Nevada, when disaster struck.

The star is said to have been trying to help free a family member's vehicle following a "massive storm" on New Year's Eve.

According to reports, a Snow Cat ploughing machine was responsible for the actor's injuries, causing him to lose 'a lot of blood' and suffer 'extensive' injuries.

On Tuesday, his representatives told TMZ: "Jeremy is making positive progress and is awake, talking and in good spirits. He remains in ICU in critical but stable condition. He is overwhelmed by the showing of love and support.

"The family asks for your continued thoughts while he heals with his close loved ones."
