Renner was run down by a seven-ton snow plough on New Year's Day as he battled to free a trapped family member from the immense snow drifts surrounding his home in Lake Tahoe, California.

Authorities said Renner tried to use the snow plough to free a relative whose vehicle had become stuck in the snow.

After getting out of the plough to speak, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said: "It was observed that the PistenBully [snow plough] was starting to roll."

Renner tried to get back into the vehicle, but it rolled over him in front of horrified relatives.

He was airlifted to hospital by helicopter and rushed to the ICU in a critical condition.

Renner has remained in the Intensive Care Unit ever since.

Audio of a panicked 911 call reveals the Marvel actor was bleeding heavily and struggling to breathe after being run over by the vehicle in the bizarre accident.

The call log, obtained by TMZ, states that Renner could be heard moaning in the background of the phone call, and that blood was pouring from his head.

Among the injuries the actor suffered, the right side of his chest reportedly collapsed, while his upper torso was completely crushed.

Officials have stressed that they don't believe the dad-of-one was in any way impaired at the time of the crush, and state that they believe it was a "tragic accident".

According to officials, Renner had been operating the equipment near his Lake Tahoe area home in order to clear a path for family that had been visiting for the holidays.

The area had just faced a harrowing New Year's Eve storm where some parts received a whopping three feet of snow, according to local outlets.
