A 50-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and released pending further enquiries.
Sergeant Kate Finlayson from the Road Policing Unit said officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the crash or seen either vehicle beforehand.
“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died at this extremely difficult time,” she said.
“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the vehicles prior to get in touch with officers.”
“I’d also ask that anyone with dash-cam footage who was driving in the area at the time review this to see if it has captured anything that could assist with our investigation.”
