Video footage showing Jeremy Renner being helped by emergency services after he was crushed in a horror snowplough accident has emerged online.
The Marvel actor, 52, suffered 35 broken bones, a collapsed lung and a punctured liver after the 14,330-pound machine rolled over him as he was clearing his driveway on New Year’s Day.
Captured on police bodycam, the footage shows Renner on the ground against the backdrop of snowcapped mountains near Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Police, firefighters and paramedics can be seen scrambling to the scene, with a helicopter visible which later airlifted the Mayor of Kingstown star to hospital.
The Hollywood A Lister is lucky to be alive after sustaining a catastrophic catalogue of injuries while attempting to stop his runaway snow plough from driving into his nephew.
“He got out to tell me something and that’s when it started coming at me,” Renner’s nephew Alexander Fries can be heard explaining to the officers.
“That’s when it was coming at me full force. He tried to jump on it… and it took him under. Right where the blood is at is right where it happened.”
Renner recently sat down for a tell-all interview with Diane Sawyer which aired in the US on TV network ABC and he admitted that he wrote a goodbye note to his family on his phone as he lay waiting for help, convinced that he was going to die.
He also recounted how he had remained “awake” throughout the horrifying ordeal and can remember the searing pain.
