Funding is in place to install memorial signs dedicating a section of the 101 Freeway in Camarillo to a deputy killed by a drunk driver last year. Now it's up to Caltrans to determine when the signs will be installed.
Officials estimated the cost of the project at around $7,000. Since then, Camarillo, Ventura County and an organization representing Ventura County deputies have stepped up to pay for the memorial to Ventura County Sheriff's Dep. Eugene Kostiuchenko, who was struck and killed on the freeway near Lewis Road last October.
