A young Tasmanian woman will go before a jury accused of dangerous driving, after a female tourist died in a crash on Good Friday. Latest from court.

Storm Cecilia Tientjes, 27, will stand trial after allegedly causing the road death of a woman on the Arthur Highway during the Easter long weekend.

A trial will be held for a young Tasmanian woman who has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving following a Good Friday fatality.

Storm Cecilia Tientjes, who is on bail, faced the Supreme Court of Tasmania on Monday for a brief administrative hearing ahead of the 2024 trial in Hobart.

Ms Tientjes, 27, has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving dating back to April 7 this year, following the death of a woman on the Arthur Highway at Copping.

She also pleaded not guilty in the Hobart Magistrates Court to driving while not holding a licence, using an unregistered motor vehicle, dishonestly displaying or altering a plate in a way calculated to deceive, and failing to comply with a requirement for taking of blood for analysis, from the same incident.

Ms Tientjes has also pleaded not guilty to assaulting a female police officer the following day by allegedly headbutting her to the face.

Tasmania Police previously said a female passenger of a white MG SUV died following a two-vehicle crash.

Ms Tientjes will return to court on February 20 next year for a directions hearing ahead of a trial, which is yet to have a date scheduled.
