A man from the Yellowquill First Nation has pleaded guilty to two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm.

Michael Peequaquat was charged in the spring of last year after four pedestrians were struck by a vehicle on a grid road near Yellowquill.

Two men and two teenage boys were walking less than a kilometre from the reserve when they were hit sometime in the evening.

Peequaquat was supposed to go to trial on the matter this week, but changed his plea.

He will be sentenced on August 4th and have his other matters spoken to then, as well.
