Actor Josh Hartnett was briefly hospitalized after an SUV he was riding in collided with a police vehicle in St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland, Canada.

Canada's Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has said that a 59-year-old man was driving the sport utility vehicle when the crash occurred just before 1 a.m. last Thursday. Hartnett, 47, is in Canada to film an untitled series for Netflix.

A representative for the actor confirmed to PEOPLE on Monday that the star of such movies as *Black Hawk Down*, *The Virgin Suicides*, and last year's *Trap* has since been released and cleared to return to work.

** has reached out to reps for Hartnett, the RNC, and Netflix for comment.

Meanwhile, Canadian authorities are investigating the incident and asking the public for help.

"RNC collision analysts are seeking any witnesses or video footage (CCTV, dash-camera, cell phone) from the area in the lead up to, or immediately following the collision," officials said in a statement. "Anyone with information is asked to contact the RNC at 709-729-8000."

Hartnett, whose screen credits date back to the '90s and who has been featured in projects such as *Oppenheimer*, *Black Mirror*, and* The Bear* in the last few years, revealed to EW in last year that the diversity of the roles he's played lately is exactly what he'd always wanted.

"As an actor, I want to constantly switch the trajectory and mess with people's expectations," the former teen heartthrob said. "I wanted to do that the whole time from when I started 26 years ago. But at the time, the opportunity wasn't there for me to play all of these disparate characters within the studio system, nor was I probably good enough. I was so young."

Hartnett added, "As I've gotten older, people have seen that potential in me more, and now I'm able to do it in these other films and TV shows. Personally, I'm really just feeling super lucky to be working with the directors I'm working with because, really, actors are only as good as their directors. So to be able to work with directors who are at the top of their game right now, and being able to play these characters that are so disparate, is a dream come true for me, honestly."

Netflix announced last month that its "Untitled Newfoundland Project," starring Hartnett, Mackenzie Davis, and Charlie Heaton, as well as Willow Kean, Ruby Stokes, Rohan Campbell, and Kaleb Horn, was in production and on location.

The plot centers on a "hard-bitten fisherman" who "discovers that his hometown is being terrorized by a mysterious creature."
