A young woman charged over a fatal road crash in Copping on Good Friday is now the subject of an arrest warrant after she failed to appear in court.

Storm Cecilia Tientjes, 26, had been granted bail by the Supreme Court of Tasmania following the long weekend tragedy in which a woman lost her life on the Arthur Highway.

However, Ms Tientjes failed to appear for a hearing in Hobart Magistrates Court on Monday, leading chief magistrate Catherine Geason to issue the warrant for her arrest.

Ms Tientjes faces several charges, including causing death by dangerous driving, driving without a licence, using an unregistered motor vehicle and failing to comply with blood tests.

She is also accused of headbutting a female police constable and drug driving.
