Three people – including children – are fighting for their life after a horror school bus crash.

The yellow vehicle was carrying pupils when it hit a truck in New York State.

At least 12 people have been injured in the accident in New Windsor, Orange County, ABC News reports.

Pictures from the scene show the bus mangled as emergency services scrambled to the crash site.

Its front window is smashed and the vehicle appears badly damaged throughout.

Pupils from the Little Britain Elementary School were injured in the collision at about 8.30am (local time) on Wednesday.

In total, eight children were travelling on the bus at the time and one of those critically injured was a girl sat behind the driver.

A westbound truck owned by a tree-trimming firm crossed over the road's centre and smashed into the bus head-on, the investigators believe.

The truck's cab appeared to have been torn from the rest of the vehicle in photographs from the scene.
