Arron and Ben Peak, aged 10 and eight from the Manchester area, died when the vehicle they were travelling in crashed with a Range Rover in Staffordshire.

Mr McCormick has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, having excess alcohol in his blood and driving with no insurance.

The boys' mother, Amanda Peak, said their lives had been "devastated".

The boys' 37-year-old father Philip is in hospital in a serious condition with fractures to his neck and back.

He was driving the Toyota Previa people carrier when the crash happened between junctions 15 and 16 of the southbound motorway near Keele services at shortly before 0545 BST on Saturday.

The brothers and their father were travelling to Silverstone racing circuit for a day out. Too distressed to speak at a news conference on Sunday, a statement from Mrs Peak, 30, and her husband said that "Arron loved life, especially football, and Ben was a loving younger brother".

"Nothing will ever compensate us for the loss we are feeling."

Mr McCormick will appear before Fenton magistrates at 10am on Monday.
