Buffalo, NY – An off-duty Buffalo police officer has died of injuries he sustained in a two-vehicle crash on the Niagara section of the Thruway early Friday morning. Five other people were injured.
Thirty-nine-year-old Jose Colon was a 12 year veteran of the police department. He was returning home from duty when his SUV was struck by a second vehicle driven by 21-year-old Raymond Jamison, Junior from the town of Boston.
Troopers say Jamison was charged with driving while intoxicated. Other charges are likely pending.
