Herp massacre

There's a low water crossing near my house that, in the last 20 hours, has produced 4 flattened Apalone spinifera guadalupensis, 1 smashed Pseudemys texana, and 1 dead Nerodia rhombifer (below).  Any thoughts about why so many herps might be crossing this single spot in such a short time span?
