After being involved in a late-night traffic accident in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Josh Hartnett was hospitalized. The actor was a passenger in an SUV that collided with a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary patrol car. The news of Hartnett’s accident has sparked widespread concern, with many wondering about what happened.
What happened to Josh Hartnett?
Josh Hartnett was briefly hospitalized last week after his SUV collided with a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary patrol car in Newfoundland, while he was in town filming Netflix’s untitled Newfoundland series. The accident occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on September 25 at the intersection of New Cove Road and Elizabeth Avenue.
Hartnett was a passenger in the SUV, which was driven by a 59-year-old man. The police officer involved was also taken to a hospital as a precaution. However, authorities confirmed that neither Hartnett, the driver, nor the officer sustained serious injuries.
Hartnett’s representative, Susan Patricola, told PEOPLE that the actor was evaluated at the hospital. He was released later that day and immediately returned to work. The minor crash did not affect production, and Hartnett promptly returned to the set. As of now, the specific details surrounding the collision have not been revealed.
Hartnett is taking on a dual role as both lead actor and executive producer in Netflix’s upcoming six-episode limited series. It is currently filming in Canada. The drama follows a rugged fisherman, portrayed by Hartnett, whose quiet coastal town is suddenly threatened by a mysterious sea creature. As danger escalates, Hartnett’s character must fight to protect his family and community against the threat. The series, which Netflix officially announced on its Instagram account on August 1, also features Charlie Heaton and Mackenzie Davis in important roles.
Prior to his work on the Newfoundland series, Hartnett appeared in the action thriller Fight or Flight, which premiered in May.
