Police said Sultan, the driver of one of the trucks involved in Friday's accident on Nagarbari-Bogra highway, died.
Hatikumrul highway police OC, BM Imdadul Haq, said a Dhaka-bound corn-laden truck lost control after one of its front tyres punctured and rammed into another truck coming from the opposite direction.
The driver of the other truck, injured in the mishap, has been admitted to Bogra's Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College and Hospital.
Traffic on the highway was disrupted for three hours leading to a tailback stretching for ten kilometres on both sides of the road, the OC said.
Vehicular movement resumed at 9am when the two vehicles were removed from the highway.
