Jeremy Renner was ‘completely crushed’ by a 14,330lb snow plow that left his upper torse crushed and the right side of his chest collapsed.
In the emergency log obtained by TMZ, notes from the accident revealed that the actor could be heard moaning in the background of the call and was suffering heavy bleeding as well as other serious injuries.
According to reports, injuries to his torso and chest made it difficult for Renner to breathe.
The Marvel star was airlifted to a hospital near his home on Sunday morning.
On Tuesday, he shared a photo of himself lying in his hospital bed as he thanked well-wishers for their prayers and supportive messages.
He captioned his photo, which shows bruises on his face: “Thank you all for your kind words. Im too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.”
Renner was reportedly left in critical condition after the incident.
He underwent two surgeries that involved metal pins being placed around his leg. On Tuesday, he finally woke up and started talking, a source said to Daily Mail.
In a news conference on Tuesday, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said that the star had been helping a family member with a car that was stuck in the snow.
While they were talking, ‘it was observed that the PistenBully (snow plow) was starting to roll,” Ballam said.
That’s when Renner tried to get back in but was run over.
Neighbors rushed outside with towels and gave the 51-year-old actor first aid.
According to reports, the area where he lives had been buried under five feet of snow and residents had been without running water and power for two days when the horrific accident happened.
“He had some family up here. His nephew was with him. They shut down the mountain because all the people skidded out,” a source told Daily Mail.
“He was just plowing the road to go snow skiing. He got out and then the machine took off. The machine jumped out of gear. And then he did something to try to get in it and he got caught up and it ran him over.
“He got quite a few wounds on him but he’s ok now. He’s talking and everything, though he’s got some recovery to do. They put a pin in his leg.”
