“Oppenheimer” and “The Virgin Suicides” actor Josh Hartnett is back to work following a car accident in Canada.
Hartnett, who starred in M. Night Shyamalan‘s 2024 film “Trap,” was a passenger in a vehicle that collided with a patrol vehicle for the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, the local police department said on Thursday, Sept. 25, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The agency issued a press release that day noting a two-card collision had occurred “shortly before 1 a.m.” in the city of St. John’s and caused “significant damage to both of the vehicles involved.”
Three people were transported to the hospital, per the RNC: a “59-year-old male driver and the 47-year-old male passenger of the SUV” who sustained “what is believed to be minor injuries,” as well as an officer who was sent for treatment “as a precaution.”
The 47-year-old actor, though, made it out safely and was “looked at and then released back to work,” his representative Susan Patricola confirmed to USA TODAY on Monday, Sept. 29.
The investigation is ongoing.
In August, production began on a currently untitled six-episode Netflix limited series that stars Hartnett. The show, created by Jesse McKeown, films and takes place in Newfoundland, according to the streamer.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and Netflix for comment.
Hartnett has been married to actress Tamsin Egerton since 2021. In February 2024, he told Extra that he and Egerton had welcomed their fourth child together.
