The two children attended McGuffy PreK- 8 in Warren. The Superintendent said, Nialaisha was a Kindergartner and Noreyion was a 2nd grader.

Superintendent Steve Chiaro said, "Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to their family, friends and classmates."

The driver, who Youngstown Police have identified as 25-year-old Ka'nosha Bason of Warren survived, but Lyons and the two children were pronounced dead at the scene. 

Officials say the Bason was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries. 

Sources tell 21 News the SUV involved in the crash was going the wrong direction. 

Police are still investigating why the driver got on 711 in the wrong direction. 

Officials tell 21 News they are still investigating where along 7-11 the SUV entered the highway going the wrong direction- they say at this point they believe it may have been at Gypsy Lane, however, they are still searching for clues. 

At approximately 12:30 am the crash shut down that area, and police say that portion of 7-11 NB was closed for approximately twelve hours while crews worked to remove steel beams that the semi had been carrying from the roadway.

Police are still trying to determine if speed, drugs or alcohol are a factor in the crash. 

Youngstown Police Chief Robin Lees says the department will confer with the Prosecutor's Office after an investigation is complete. 

Chief Lees says that Bason could be facing charges as serious as aggravated vehicular homicide, depending on what the investigation finds. 

Friday, Warren Schools provided additional counseling support to it's students. Chiaro said, the district will continue to provided support to their school community "as long as it takes and as long as the support is needed."
