Emergency service crews rushed to the fatal collision in Rawnsley Road in Hednesford, near Cannock at about 7.45pm on Sunday.
A green Vauxhall Mokka and a black Mercedes AMG C were involved in the crash.
The driver of the Mokka was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.
Two ambulances, a paramedic officer, a critical care car from the Midlands Air Ambulance and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance were called to the incident alongside police and fire crews.
On arrival, ambulance staff discovered two cars which had been involved in a "serious collision".
A spokeswoman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "The driver of one car, a man, was in a critical condition.

"The driver and passenger from the second car were described as ‘walking wounded’. Both were discharged on scene."
