The horror smash took place around 5am Monday morning, around 50 miles from Dhaka.
Police commander Fuad Hossain said the truck was carrying extra hitchhikers who were travelling from the Bangladeshi capital to the north of the country ahead of the Eid al-Adha festival.
15 people were declared dead at the scene, with some reportedly crushed under the iron bars that the truck was transporting.
