The crash happened at about 1.30pm today (Friday, December 27) on the B4058 Wotton Road, between Wotton and Charfield and involved a Toyota Roadster and a white Nissan van.
Police say an 18-year old man from Wotton-under-Edge who was in the Toyota died at the scene. All three emergency services attended.
The road is still closed between Station Road and the B4060 Wotton road at the Renishaw roundabout while a collision investigation takes place.
