Police have named the woman killed in a crash at Marton last month. 

She was 24-year-old My Marie Harder Clemensen, from Khandallah, Wellington. 

The crash between a car and truck happened on State Highway 1 near Marton, around 35km southeast of Whanganui, shortly before 10pm on March 26. 

An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. 

Clemensen was originally from Haslev in Denmark. 

Her father Finn John Jensen announced on Facebook that her funeral would be held on May 2. 

On March 28 he confirmed her death to his family and friends. 

鈥淢y beloved daughter My Marie Clemensen has sadly been taken from us,鈥 he wrote. 

鈥淪he was driving wrong in New Zealand. She will always be missed and loved.鈥

Jensen said Clemensen was 鈥渢he world鈥檚 best and loveliest daughter鈥. 

Clemensen鈥檚 partner Marcus Andreassen also paid tribute on Facebook. 

鈥淢y beloved... sadly passed away on Wednesday... I received the terrible message on Thursday night,鈥 he wrote. 

鈥淪he will obviously be missed forever... I am of course in great sorrow.鈥 

It appears Clemensen鈥檚 mother Charlotte had visited her in New Zealand in early March. 

She posted photographs from her time in Wellington. 

鈥淚t was wonderful to see the smallest child again after three months,鈥 Charlotte Clemensen wrote. 

鈥淲e were driving through Wellington home... in the evening we went out to celebrate My鈥檚 Birthday... I just took a trip to My鈥檚 work and then it was really nice to see where she does her everyday life.鈥 

The mother and daughter also took a trip to the South Island together.
