An online fundraiser in support of the family of a police officer who died after being hit by a train as he attempted to save a distressed man in the tracks has raised more than £130,000.

Sergeant Graham Saville, a response officer in Nottinghamshire Police, sustained serious injuries when he was struck near Newark on August 24.

The 46-year-old died at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham on Tuesday.

A JustGiving page has been launched in support of Sgt Saville’s immediate family.

The page was set up by former Nottinghamshire Police officer Dan Fletcher, who describes Sgt Saville’s actions as “the epitome of policing bravery”.
