Two Mississauga, Ont. brothers accused of speeding down a Brampton highway, causing an accident in which two women were killed, were released on bail on Friday as one of the victims was being laid to rest.

Brian Machado, 27, and his younger brother, Steven, 21, were each released on $100,000 bail. They both face two counts of criminal negligence causing death.

As part of their conditions, the Machados are not allowed to drive. They can only leave their home to go to work, church or court, and they must be accompanied by a parent.

Outside court, a large group of family and friends try to shield them from news photographers. At times the exchange got testy, and there was pushing and shoving.

The accused's lawyer said the ordeal has been difficult for everyone affected.

"They're two young men without criminal records and this is very trying for them, it's trying for their parents and I'm sure it's trying for the people who were victims of an accident," Peter Brauti told reporters.

"(My clients are) family people, they're community people and they have got a lot of support."

The Machados were charged on Saturday afternoon after witnesses told police they saw two cars travelling along Highway 50, near Castlemore Road, at speeds of about 140 km/h in the 80 km/h zone.

One of the cars spun out of control and hit a vehicle carrying the two women.

Maria Dalsass, 44, of Palgrave, and best friend Cynthia Dougherty, 49, of Beeton, died from their injuries.

Dougherty's husband Derreck was travelling in another car just in front of the women. He saw the horrific scene unfold from his rearview mirror.

Police seized the two cars, an Audi and a BMW belonging to the Machados, under the province's new anti-street racing legislation.

The new law allows police to take away the cars and licences of drivers caught going 50 km over the posted speed limit for a week. These drivers also face fines ranging from $2,000 to $10,000.

Dalsass laid to rest

On Friday morning, hundreds of mourners attended the funeral service in Bolton for Dalsass, including students she taught.

Dalsass, who was a special education teacher at Dante Aligheri high school in North York, was described as a passionate instructor who loved working with children.

"She was always making sure you were doing your work and she was always there for you," one student said.

Dalsass was twice named teacher of the year by the Toronto Catholic District School Board.

"It's just a real shame that it had to happen, this didn't have to happen," said one mourner, fighting back tears.

Since Dalsass' death, tributes have poured in for her from students on the social networking website Facebook.

Dougherty was laid to rest in Alliston on Wednesday.
