SC S0655

Requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation name Gapway Drainage Bridge on US 76 in Horry County as "Zachary Kyle Strickland Bridge"

Honors Zachary Kyle Strickland (1978-2005), a Nichols, South Carolina native who died from complications of injuries sustained in a 1997 automobile accident that left him a quadriplegic

Notes that an eight-year investigation revealed three critical vehicle defects (faulty brakes, seatbelts, and door latches) that contributed to the accident, leading to improved manufacturer safety practices

Directs the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate markers or signs at the bridge location with the memorial designation

Requires a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to the Strickland family
