“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,” the press release read.

“When a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote town, a fisherman must fight to protect his family, his community, and his way of life,” the show’s synopsis reads.
Besides Hartnett, the still-untitled collection is set to embrace “Stranger Things” star Charlie Heaton and “Speak No Evil” actor Mackenzie Davis.
The “Bear” star, who first made a identify for himself after showing in hit movies like 1998’s “The Faculty” and the 2001 blockbuster “Black Hawk Down,” up and left Hollywood in the mid-2000s despite a profitable profession on the big screen.

He opened up about the choice to ditch Tinsel Town and retreat to his home state of Minnesota last yr during a candid chat with the Guardian.
“People’s attention to me at the time was borderline unhealthy,” Hartnett explained at the time. “There were incidents. People showed up at my house. People that were stalking me.”
“There were lots of things. It was a weird time,” he added. “And I wasn’t going to be grist for the mill.”

After transferring from Los Angeles back to Minnesota, Hartnett and his spouse, British actress Tamsin Egerton, packed up and moved once again – this time to Hampshire, England.
But the actor’s departure from Hollywood took a toll on the sort of roles he was in a position to land, one thing Hartnett opened up about back in 2014.
“I still get offered film and TV roles, luckily, but years ago, if I saw a role I wanted, there was a good chance I could grab it,” he explained at the time.
“When I see a role now, I’ve got to fight for it. It’s not bad. It’s actually more rewarding,” Hartnett concluded. “Depressing when something doesn’t go your way, but only for a minute.”
