PROVO, Utah (AP) — The Utah Division of Transportation has begun posting signs on a Utah County highway in Eagle Mountain memorializing a slain deputy.
The Daily Herald reports signs marking the Cory B. Wride Memorial Highway went up Tuesday.
The highway is a section of State Route 73 near Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs, about 35 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Wride was killed on the two-lane highway in January while sitting behind the wheel of his patrol car.
The suspected shooter, 27-year-old Jose Angel Garcia-Juaregui, later died after a cross-county crime spree ended with him being shot by police.
His girlfriend, 17-year-old Meagan Grunwald, is charged with aggravated murder.
She is scheduled to stand trial in February.
