The 47-year-old female driver of the van suffered serious injuries while her male passenger and the driver of the 4x4 sustained minor injuries. All were taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "As with all sudden deaths, a report will submitted to the procurator fiscal."
