No charges after wild horse struck, killed on NC beach

COROLLA, NC (WVEC) — No charges will be filed at this time after a motorist struck and killed a wild horse along a Corolla beach on Saturday night.

According to a Facebook post made by the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, the mare died instantly and “her stallion stayed over her body all night even after she was covered with a tarp.”

The organization is urging drivers to pay attention when driving on the beach at night.

“Slow down and expect that a horse could be on the beach or running over the dunes at any given moment,” the post said.

Deputies said conditions were foggy at the time, with low visibility.
