When Jose A. Colon was given his police badge and began patrolling city streets 12 years ago, his family knew he was starting a dangerous job.
But they never imagined he would die while coming home from work.
Colon, 39, of Orchard Park, died at about 1 p. m. Friday, nine hours after his SUV was struck on the Niagara Thruway. Police said the operator of the other vehicle, Raymond E. Jamison Jr., 21, of Boston, was drunk.
