The release of the 911 call log after Jeremy Renner was crushed by a snowplough has detailed the extent of the actor’s injuries.

Renner, who starred in the Oscar-winning film The Hurt Locker and several Marvel properties as Hawkeye, was injured over the New Year’s weekend close to his Nevada home.

He had been trying to rescue his car from the snow when he was accidentally run over by the heavy-duty snowplough he’d been operating.

The actor was airlifted to the hospital and underwent two surgeries, before he shared a selfie from his hospital bed on Tuesday (3 January).
