Cleveland police officers fundraiser closes after 'overwhelming' support
Cleveland Police Federation are thanking everyone who have supported the GoFundMe
The fundraising page in support of the families of the two Cleveland police officers who died in a head-on crash on the A66 in South Bank has now closed.
Cleveland Police Federation says the response has been 'truly overwhelming' as more than £1.2 million has been raised.
Carl Baker, Secretary of Cleveland Police Federation, said: "There are simply not enough words to properly thank everyone for what you have done in memory of Matt and Tom.
"The kindness and generosity shown by people across the country and beyond has meant an enormous amount, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has stood behind both families during such an unimaginably difficult time.
"We are working directly with the team at GoFundMe to make sure everything is appropriately set up for the funds raised to support both families.
"From everyone at Cleveland Police Federation, thank you for standing with the families of Matt and Tom and for showing just how much support is around them."
