Police have seized both vehicles and detained the bus driver.
The accident occurred near Bharudi village on the Ramsey-Bhinmal state highway.
Ramseen SHO Arvind Kumar said the deceased were identified as Lalita Devi (42), her son Kailash (19) and daughter Suman Kumari (17), residents of Muthla Kamba village.
