Bill > S0655

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion or desire by the South Carolina General Assembly, requests that the Department of Transportation name the Gapway Drainage Bridge on US 76 in Horry County the "Zachary Kyle Strickland Bridge" and install signs to mark this designation. The resolution honors Zachary Kyle Strickland, a native of Nichols, South Carolina, who, after a severe automobile accident in 1997 that left him quadriplegic, tragically passed away in 2005 due to complications from his injuries. Investigations revealed critical defects in the vehicle he was driving, which led to improved safety practices in vehicle manufacturing. Naming the bridge is intended as a fitting tribute to his life and the impact of his story on vehicle safety. The resolution also directs that a copy be sent to the Department of Transportation and presented to Zachary's family.
