The crash happened just after 4 p.m. Sunday on Route 30 in Schoharie, police said. Troopers responded there for a report of a two-car crash with severe injuries.
The driver of one of the vehicles suffered a severe injury to an arm, resulting in troopers responding by applying a tourniquet, police said.
That driver was taken to Albany Medical Center, along with two passengers – one a child. The two passengers suffered injuries described as minor.
Bernard was identified as the driver of the other vehicle. He denied being injured and was charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs, police said.
He was processed and released to a sober third party to appear in court later.
