The Coquitlam man accused of killing two women in an alcohol-fuelled hit-and-run was found guilty Friday in New Westminster Supreme Court.

Cory Sater was convicted on six charges, including two counts of impaired driving causing death and two counts of dangerous driving causing death.

Justice James Williams found Sater had consumed 14 ounces of hard alcohol the night he plowed his car into 26-year-old Lorraine Cruz and 30-year-old Charlene Reaveley on the Lougheed Highway in February 2011.

Williams told the court there’s no evidence Sater ever hit the brakes or tried to steer away from the victims, even though they were standing next to a parked car facing against traffic on the shoulder of the highway.

“Mr. Sater was apparently oblivious to that hazard even as he drove closer to it,” Williams said.

“The consequences can only be described as horrific.”

Before Cruz was killed, she had been involved in a minor accident. Reaveley had stepped out of another vehicle to help when both women were hit, sending them flying more than 20 metres.

Both died at the scene.

Sater was also found guilty on counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and impaired driving causing bodily harm for hitting another man, who survived the crash.

He previously pleaded guilty to another charge of failure to remain at the scene.

Sater had no comments for the victims’ families outside the courthouse Friday but said he’ll be spending time with his loved ones while awaiting his March 31 sentencing hearing.

“I want to go spend some time with my son now,” Sater said.

Williams found the driver had consumed six double rye-and-cokes and two Jager bombs, consisting of Jagermeister and Red Bull, the night of Feb. 19. Two bar servers testified they had cut Sater off from ordering any more drinks.

Cruz’s mother Marlie Bennett told reporters she was satisfied with the outcome of the trial, but broke down when trying to express what she’s been through.

“It was hard. I’m sorry,” Bennett said, crying.

Reaveley’s mom Mary Oglivie said she’s pleased with the verdict and looking forward to Sater’s sentencing.

“Hopefully it’s a good sentence he gets,” she said. “Twenty-five years or more. He killed two people. He killed my daughter.”

Another charge relating to blood alcohol content was not pursued by Crown. Prosecutor Christopher McPherson said the a conviction would have been difficult because Sater left the scene, and a Breathalyzer or blood test was never performed.

Sater eventually turned himself in to police.
