A big truck crashed into a bus carrying passengers in India.
The truck was going very fast and hit the bus near a place called Kondagattu.
The front of the bus was badly damaged, and the driver and some passengers were stuck inside.
People who lived nearby rushed to help, and police also joined the rescue.
The injured people were taken to a hospital in Jagtial in special ambulances.
Five people were hurt very seriously, and doctors planned to move them to bigger hospitals in Karimnagar or Hyderabad.
The road was blocked for a long time, and cars were stuck in traffic for kilometres.

Local residents and police teams joined rescue efforts, and the injured were taken by 108 ambulances to Jagtial District Government Hospital.
