A man facing three impaired driving-related charges following a single-vehicle crash in Antigonish Co. has changed his plea to guilty.
RCMP say officers were called to the collision on the East Havre Boucher hill on Hwy. 104 in March 2017.
They say all four people inside the car were taken to hospital with injuries.
Police say two men from Pomquet and Port Hawkesbury, who were 19 and 26 at the time, respectively, were thrown from the vehicle, and were airlifted to hospital in Halifax in critical condition; two women, who were both 19 at the time, from Monastery and Central New Annan, were also hurt.
Kirkland MacDonald, 21, of Pomquet has been charged with three counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm.
MacDonald’s trial opened with two days in June, and continued with two more days in August; it resumed in September.
He was expected to set his next date Wednesday; instead, he entered a guilty plea, and is scheduled for sentencing in Antigonish Provincial Court April 3.
