Driver charged in four-vehicle crash pleads guilty

A man from Antigonish Co. arrested in relation to a crash that left a woman with serious injuries has entered guilty pleas in the case.

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, 36, faces two impaired driving-related counts and seven breaches; his case opened shortly after his arrest.

Lanceleve pleaded guilty during an election-and-plea hearing in Dartmouth Provincial Court Tuesday; he’s scheduled to return to court for sentencing March 6.
