It is thought the driver might have fallen ill at the wheel as he travelled up Queen Street.
The truck hit a pedestrian outside the city's Gallery of Modern Art and continued, hitting several other people and coming to a halt only when it crashed in to the side of Millennium Hotel in George Square.
There were two other crew members on the lorry at the time of the crash, but the condition of the two men was not known.
A fleet of private ambulances carrying the dead left the area earlier this morning.
Police said that a report on the crash would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
