TULARE ROAD RENAMED FOR DEPUTY, PILOT

Part of SR 190 in Tulare County has been renamed for a deputy and a pilot who were killed when their plane crashed during a search for a suspect back in 2016. It’s now Deputy Scott Ballantyne and Pilot James Chavez Memorial Hwy, which is near Lake Success. The replacement aircraft carries the deputy’s badge number and the pilot’s initials.
