Officials said the impact of the collision was so severe that both the vehicles fell into a roadside well. 

Thirty-two others have been shifted to nearby hospitals to treat their wounds. 

In a Tweet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed "sadness" at the "unfortunate incident".

"My thoughts are with the bereaved families. May the injured recover at the earliest," he wrote.
