Local media reports that the death toll could be as high as 25.
The bus was ferrying students to Aliganj's JS Public School in Etah. It is not yet clear what had caused the vehicles to crash, although collisions are a common occurrence on winter mornings, when northern India is frequently blanketed with thick fog.
Road incidents killed nearly 150,000 people in India last year, around 400 a day, according to the data from ministry of road transport and highways.
