Two women killed as container lorry rams stationary bus on NH-44
A big container lorry crashed into a bus that had stopped on a highway bridge.
The bus had gotten a flat tyre, so it stopped to fix it.
Another bus stopped behind it to stay safe.
Some passengers got off and sat on the divider in the middle of the road.
The lorry, which was driving towards Hyderabad, hit the stopped bus from behind.
The force of the crash pushed the bus onto the divider where people were sitting.
Two women were hurt very badly and died right there.
Another woman was seriously injured.
Several other people were also hurt and were taken to a hospital.
The accident happened on Thursday on the NH-44 bridge at Perkit in Nizamabad.

Some passengers reportedly got down and sat on the road divider beside the bus.
