A 911 emergency call made after Jeremy Renner was run over by a seven-ton snow plow on New Year's Day indicates that the right side of the actor's chest collapsed and his upper torso was crushed.
The injuries to his chest and torso were reportedly making it difficult for the Marvel star to breathe before he was airlifted to a nearby hospital from the scene of the accident at about 10am on Sunday morning near his home in the Reno area.
On Tuesday, Renner shared a picture of himself in his hospital bed with visible bruising on his face and thanked well-wishers for their 'kind words' in his first post on social media since the accident.
The actor, who was left in critical condition following the accident, has had two surgeries that involved metal pins being placed around his leg that got crushed by the snow plow.
