A woman who was found dead in a submerged car near Stratford in Taranaki last month was a traveller from the United States.
Tanya Helene Procer, 67, was killed in a crash near the Forgotten Highway (State Highway 43) on February 20.
Emergency services were called about 9am to a vehicle submerged in the Tangarakau River, beside the highway, and found Procer inside.
Police are still investigating.
