Bernard was treated and released from an area hospital.

He is facing multiple charges including:

  • Aggravated flight from an officer
  • Negligent injury
  • Possession of marijuana
  • Three counts of resisting an officer
  • Driving without a taillight
  • Running red light
  • No drivers license

The people in the two other cars received minor to moderate injuries.
