It is understood a van and police vehicle collided on the Murray Valley Highway, at the Stokes Road intersection, around midday today.
The driver and sole occupant of the van, a yet to be formally identified man, died at the scene.
An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said paramedics treated two men at the scene for upper body injuries.
They said a man in his 30s was flown by air ambulance helicopter to the Alfred Hospital with serious injuries.
Another man in his 60s was taken to Shepparton Hospital also with serious injuries.
At this early stage there is nothing to indicate the officers were in pursuit of the vehicle, it is believed they were on patrol as part of their duties.
