For the past two summers pedestrians have been hit and killed while walking along Highway 12 in Corolla in Currituck County at the Outer Banks. The most recent was just days ago when exchange student Asen Zahariev was hit and killed. Currituck County officials are now reassuring people that they are now working with the NCDOT on plans to address the problem. There is no walkway or bike path along that section of road and many people have complained or voiced concern over the dangers of walking along Highway 12 in Corolla during the busy summer months.
