The truck driver, who has yet to be identified, was booked into the Ho Chi Minh City jail, following the accident on the Highway Hanoi in which he rear-ended a bus carrying some 20 passengers, reported Zing online newspaper.
The collision sent the truck careening out of control, crashing over the centre line concrete barriers dividing the thoroughfare near the Saigon Bridge into oncoming traffic.
The motorbike driver who was travelling in the opposite direction was killed instantly, crushed by the load the semi was hauling, said police officials investigating the deadly crash.
If convicted of vehicular manslaughter, the driver could face decades in prison.
