The boys, 7 and 8 years old, died in a weekend crash with a T&S Trucking tanker loaded with brine water from a gas drilling operation. It happened on a U.S. 50 off-ramp.
Clarksburg Police Chief Marshall Goff said the boys' mother is Lucretia Mazzei, 49. The boys attended Adamston Elementary. Harrison County sent counselors there and to other schools Monday to help children cope.
The truck driver hasn't been identified or charged. Goff said the driver told police his brakes didn't work properly, but a preliminary investigation suggests they weren't an issue.
T&S Trucking is based in Mineral Wells. The company didn't immediately return messages.
