Oklahoma Game wardens say they now know what caused the deaths of seven geese on Tulsa's 11th Street bridge.

Game wardens said at first it looked suspicious, since the geese were lined up along the road and looked like they could have been killed on purpose.

But after posting to social media, people who were there called and said the birds were run over.

A warning, some of the images in the video may be disturbing. 

Game wardens found out 25 geese were trying to cross the road Sunday night at the Route 66 Bridge.

Police and firefighters were even blocking the road to help them, but seven were hit. That's why they moved them to the side of the road.

Game wardens opened an investigation this week, since it's illegal to kill geese this time of year.

"The geese were over by a bridge and a Tulsa police officer and a firetruck were trying to get them across, and they almost got them across, but they didn't cooperate and they ended up running up the bridge and getting ran over," said Oklahoma Game Warden Brandon Fulton. 

No one will face charges since game wardens said this was just an accident.
