Oklahoma college football fans had to cut one touchdown celebration short during Saturday’s game against West Virginia after their famed Sooner Schooner wagon tipped over.

As it circles around the field, the wagon tips over and sends all of its passengers flying onto the turf. 

Fox Broadcasters shared that everyone on board manage to avoid injury and the two horses were not affected by the crash. 

In a statement shared on Twitter, OU Athletics said that they believed the accident was a ‘result of weight distribution among riders in the rear of the wagon.’ 

Three people were evaluated at the scene and released, OU Athletics continued.

‘Upon initial evaluation, it also appears the ponies are uninjured,’ the department added. Medical staff responded immediately as did the expert horse handlers and veterinarian who staff all games. We are grateful that the injuries were not serious and for the staff members who responded so well.

He joked: ‘Oklahoma was trying to drift the horse carriage #FastAndFurious.’

But not everyone found the incident funny, with PETA sharing footage of the spirit squad members being launched onto the field. 

‘Exploiting animals for sports is unnecessary & incredibly dangerous for animals AND humans,’ PETA said in a tweet.

‘@OU_Football: KEEP HORSES OFF THE FIELD.’

The little snafu wasn’t a distraction for Oklahoma, however, who managed to bear West Virginia 52 to 14.
