The collision involved a black BMW 5 Series, a white Audi A5 and a red Renault Clio. The driver of the BMW, a man in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The drivers of the two other cars, both women, suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
Detective Sergeant Jon Putnam, from the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our investigation is in its early stages and I would ask anyone who witnessed the collision but who has not spoken to police to do so.
“I’d like anyone who was on the A606 this morning particularly those with a dashcam in their vehicle to come forward. Did you see the collision occur? Did you see any of the vehicles involved beforehand?
Any details you’re able to provide could help.”
