A Fraser Lake man has pleaded guilty to one count of impaired driving causing death.
Christopher Clayton Scott McGuiney, 32, entered the plea Tuesday during a brief appearance in B.C. Supreme Court in relation to the death of a 100 Mile House man two years ago.
On the night of Jan. 17, 2014, McGuiney was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that collided with an SUV driven by Duane Francis Pearson, 46, on Highway 16 about 10 kilometres east of Fraser Lake.
Pearson was pronounced dead that the scene.
Sentencing will be carried out once a pre-sentence report has been completed sometime in the next six to eight weeks.
In March, McGuiney, who has two previous convictions for impaired driving, was the subject of a protest by Pearson's family outside the Vanderhoof court house when he tried to change the terms of his bail, which include prohibitions against driving and consuming alcohol, according to the Omineca Express. His appeal was denied.
