Collision With Police Car Leaves Three Hospitalized
CBC reported that, according to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, the crash happened just before 1 a.m. on September 25 in St. Johnâs, Newfoundland. Hartnett was a passenger in an SUV that collided with a patrol car.
Page Six reported that Police confirmed the accident caused âsignificant damage to both vehicles.â A 59-year-old driver, Hartnett, and the police officer were taken to the hospital. Hartnett and the driver were treated for what were believed to be minor injuries, while the officer was admitted for observation as a precaution.
