Jeremy Renner is now out of hospital after a terrifying accident where he was "crushed" by his snowcat left him in a critical condition.
He's previously shared social media pictures and videos showing the severity of his condition, but the initial 911 call has now been released, detailing how serious the incident was.
Renner was rushed to hospital on New Year's Day after an accident while plowing snow at his Lake Tahoe home. He underwent surgery and two days later, shared an update on his Instagram page, informing his fans that he was on the mend. On Tuesday, the actor was released from hospital as he said he was excited to watch the new episode of his show, Mayor of Kingstown, at home with his family.
In the immediate moments after Renner was left seriously injured, his neighbor called 911 to get help. The call lasted nearly 22 minutes in total as the paramedics made their way to save the Marvel actor. Faint groans and moans, presumably coming from Renner, can be heard consistently throughout the call.
Snippets of the audio have been shared by Entertainment Tonight and TMZ.
