No arrests have been made as Thames Valley Police continue to appeal for witnesses to the crash.
Investigating officer Sergeant Ed Crofts, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, said: “Sadly, a man has died following this collision and our thoughts are with his loved ones at this extremely difficult time.
“I would like to appeal for anyone that witnessed the collision, which was on a busy stretch of the A4074 during the evening rush hour, or saw the vehicles involved prior to it, both of which were travelling south on the A4074, to contact us.
“Also we are also appealing for the driver of a Range Rover who was travelling in the opposite direction to come forward.
“They can do so by calling 101 or via our website, quoting investigation reference number 43230212648.
“I would also ask anyone with a dash-camera who was driving in the area at the time to check their footage and let us know if it has captured anything that might assist our investigation.”
