Emergency services attended but Mariella, the driver of the Chevrolet, died at the scene.
Her family are being supported by specialist trained officers.
In their tribute, Mariella’s family said today: “Mariella sprinkled stardust on everyone she met.”
She was a volunteer at East Yorkshire Mind, a crew member at Shiptonthorpe McDonald’s, a student at Askham Bryan College, and a Humberside Police cadet based in Beverley.
Her family continued: “Her love of music, the Yorkshire countryside, and her travels across Greece made her a beautiful, joyous young woman.
“From a very young age, her strong sense of right and wrong led to a natural ambition to become a police officer.
“Our hearts go out to everyone who knew Mariella, her friends, colleagues and, naturally, all her family.”
Humberside Police are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area around the time of the collision, who has dashcam footage or witnessed the collision to contact us on our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 304 of 30 March.
