Emergency services have arrived at a fatal Marsden Point crash. Video / Northern Advocate.

A Givealittle page set up by a relative of the two people who died in the Marsden Point crash has raised more than $6000.

Porsche' brother, Orion Nepia, created the page on February 10 to help with the tangi and funeral costs.

On the page he said he was "heartbroken" by the loss.

"I am hoping that by making this page it can give both the Nepia and Hita whanau a bit of weight off their shoulders," the page reads.
