Late at night last week, actor Josh Hartnett was reportedly hospitalized after the SUV he was riding in was involved in a collision with a police vehicle in Canada.

According to TMZ, citing a CBC News report, the two vehicles collided at around 1 a.m. on Thursday, as Josh Hartnett was returning home from a day of filming for a Netflix series.

At the time of the accident, Hartnett was on the passenger side, while the car was being driven by a man whose identity remains unknown.

Josh Hartnett was reportedly not the only person hospitalized: a police officer involved in the accident was also taken to hospital as a precautionary measure, according to local authorities.

While the vehicles involved were heavily damaged, the three people hospitalized suffered only minor injuries and were quickly treated.

The accident is believed to have occurred at the intersection of New Cove Road and Elizabeth Avenue in St. John’s, and police are reportedly appealing for witnesses and anyone with images that could be linked to the case.
