Crush

They were crushing us into a small truck. What does it mean?

There was a big crush of people at the building. What does it mean?

In the first case, it means the people were being pressed very tightly into the truck. The second case is similar, talking about a very large, tightly packed group of people. The idea in both cases is that there are so many people so close together they feel squished.

Too many people in too small a space. Everybody is squeezed together. Very uncomfortable.
