A stretch of State Road 39 will officially be dedicated in memory of a fallen Pulaski County sheriff’s deputy tomorrow. Shadron K. Bassett was killed in a single-vehicle crash on State Road 39 near Pulaski County Road 300 North while responding to a call on October 7, 2005.
Now, the Indiana Department of Transportation is naming the section between 300 and 400 North the “Deputy Shadron K. Bassett Memorial Mile.” The Indiana General Assembly recommended the change in a joint resolution authored by State Senator Ed Charbonneau.
Tomorrow, Senator Charbonneau, INDOT representatives, and Bassett’s family members will gather at INDOT’s Medaryville Maintenance Unit for a memorial ceremony at 3:00 p.m., where the commemorative sign will be unveiled.
