Actor Josh Hartnett Hospitalized After Collision with Police Vehicle in Canada

On September 29, 2025, actor Josh Hartnett was involved in a collision with a police vehicle in St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland, Canada. Hartnett, 47, was a passenger in a sport utility vehicle driven by a 59-year-old man when the crash occurred just before 1 a.m.

The incident left Hartnett briefly hospitalized, but a representative for the actor confirmed on September 30 that he has since been released and cleared to return to work. Hartnett is currently in Canada to film an untitled series for Netflix.

Canadian authorities, specifically the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, are now investigating the collision and are seeking the public's help. They have asked anyone with information or video footage from the area around the time of the incident to contact the police.

Hartnett, known for his roles in films like Black Hawk Down, The Virgin Suicides, and last year's Trap, has revealed that the diverse range of characters he has been able to play in recent years is a dream come true for him as an actor. He has been featured in projects such as Oppenheimer, Black Mirror, and The Bear.
