COEUR D'ALENE -- KREM 2 News has obtained the 911 calls made by friends an Athol, Idaho man killed Wednesday in a snowmobiling accident.

One of those men hiked four miles just to get cell phone reception.

You can hear their frustration as they plead with dispatchers to get help.

Here's one exchange: "We're gonna need a helicopter. This guy if we're gonna save his life we're gonna need defibulation and he's gonna have to get to the hospital really fast."

Dispatch:"They're coming, they're less than five minutes out. Just stay there."

Listen to the 911 calls made by the victim's friends

63-year-old Nick Fiorovich was riding a snowmobile near 4th of July Pass when he rolled down a hillside.

Fiorovich lost consciousness and his friends spent the next two hours performing CPR. However, he could not be revived.

Rescuers hoped to use a helicopter to transport Fiorovich to the hospital, but light snow has made visibility too low for the chopper to fly.
