Driver charged in four-vehicle crash scheduled to return to court in January

A man from Antigonish Co. charged in relation to a crash that left a woman with serious injuries has had his case adjourned.

RCMP say the four-vehicle crash happened on Hwy. 7 in Preston in November.

They say a car veered into oncoming traffic, struck another car, then hit two SUVs.

Police say a passenger in the first car, a 36-year-old woman from Truro, was taken to hospital with serious injuries; five others were checked at the scene and released.

Morris James Lanceleve, 35, faces two impaired driving-related counts and seven breaches; his case opened in court shortly after the crash.

Lanceleve was expected for election-and-plea in Dartmouth Provincial Court Monday; instead, the hearing was adjourned until Jan. 20.
