WATCH: Video shows 1st responders rushing to save Jeremy Renner after snowplow accident

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.

However, he was able to attend the red carpet premiere of his Disney+ series "Rennervations" last week with his 10-year-old daughter Ava by his side.

In a recent exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer, Renner said he considers himself a "lucky man" for having survived and largely recovered from the horrific accident.
