WINNEBAGO COUNTY (NBC 26) -- A man has been found guilty for a fatal boat crash that killed two sisters back in 2018.

Brian Sullivan was convicted Friday for his role in the deaths of Lauren and Cassandra Laabs.

As previously reported, authorities say one boat crashed into another boat on Lake Winnebago in the Township of Vinland. Sullivan was operating one of the boats.

According to court documents, both boat operators admitted to drinking, but the criminal complaint says Sullivan's blood alcohol content was .093. The legal limit in Wisconsin is 0.08%.

A sentencing for Sullivan has been scheduled for December 9th at 9 a.m.
