First responders are seen racing to rescue Jeremy Renner after the "Avengers" star's snowplow accident in dramatic body camera footage obtained by ABC News.

In the video, medics are seen working on Renner after he was crushed by a 7-ton snowplow on his Nevada property on New Year's Day, an accident which resulted in him breaking more than 30 bones.

"Right where his blood is at, that's right where it all happened," Renner's nephew, Alex Fries, is overheard telling the first responders.

Fries tells the first responders how his uncle intervened to save him from the snowplow as they were trying to get a pickup truck out of the snow, saying the snowplow was "coming at me full force."

"He tried to jump on it?!" one first responder asked, with Fries affirming the series of events.

"He tried to jump on it and it took him under," Fries explained.

Elsewhere in the body camera footage, one of the first responders finds Renner's hat underneath the snowplow, saying, "Oh, wow. Get a picture of that. That's a hat."
