Roadside memorial to honor officers killed in line of duty 
Oregon - Ten years ago, a drowsy 19-year old driver traveled off the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 north of Albany and struck three police officers stopped assisting a family in a disabled van.
Oregon State Police Senior Trooper Maria Mignano and off-duty Albany Police Officer Jason Hoerauf were killed.
Oregon State Police Sergeant John Burright, with whom Officer Hoerauf was on a ride-along, barely survived.
Burright's life-altering critical injuries led to his retirement, bringing an early end to the career of an outstanding Oregon State Police trooper.
The 2011 Oregon legislature passed House Bill 3039 authorizing roadside signs honoring law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
State Representative Andy Olson will join Oregon law enforcement officials, Oregon Department of Transportation, and family and friends of the fallen officers at the unveiling of the first roadside memorial sign on Thursday, Sept. 1.
Law enforcement and highway officials will also provide safety reminders for Labor Day Holiday weekend travelers.
