Two Buses Collide Near Zharivinayak Temple, Children Injured
In a town called Ratnagiri in India, two big buses crashed into each other early in the morning.
The crash happened very close to a temple, and both buses were badly damaged.
Some children were riding on one of the buses, and a few of them got hurt.
Kind people who lived nearby came to help right away.
They helped the children climb out of the bus safely and took the hurt ones to the district hospital.
A car that was driving behind the buses was also hit, but the people inside the car were not hurt at all.
The car belonged to a doctor who was taking his daughter to school.
People saw videos of the accident on social media and many were very upset.
In another sad accident last July, three people from one family lost their lives when their car crashed into a big truck on the highway.
Everyone hopes that roads in the area will become safer for everyone.

Several children on board one of the buses sustained injuries and were admitted to the district hospital after being rescued by nearby residents.
