DHAKA, Bangladesh — A boat packed with passengers capsized on a river in northeastern Bangladesh late Saturday, leaving at least 37 people dead and 18 others missing, officials said.

The boat carrying about 80 people collided with a sand-laden cargo vessel in the dark on the River Surma in Sunamganj district, about 110 miles northeast of the capital, Dhaka, said local officials Abul Hashem and Matiur Rahman. Both officials spoke by phone from the scene of the accident.
