GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – The South Carolina Department of Public Safety reports the S.C. Highway Patrol held a highway dedication ceremony on Friday to honor a patrolman killed in the line of duty in Greenville County.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation unveiled highway signs that designated a portion of SC-183 between Sulphur Springs Road and Ridge Road as the SCHP Patrolman Albert T. Sealy Jr. Memorial Highway.
Albert Sealy, Jr., joined the SC Highway Patrol in 1948 and served for two years before he crashed into a tanker truck during a pursuit on Oct. 5, 1950, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety.
SC Highway Patrol Colonel Christopher Williamson said, “Honor is not a currency that loses its value with the passage of time. It does not have an expiration date. Whether a trooper died in the line of duty a year ago, or 75 years ago, each one laid down his life in service to this state. And I am pleased that we can recognize Patrolman Sealy’s service and sacrifice today.”…
