A Connecticut state representative was killed overnight in a wrong-way highway crash after having attended the governor's inaugural ball and his own swearing-in ceremony for a third term, House Democratic leaders said Thursday.
Quentin Williams, a 39-year-old Democrat from Middletown known as “Q,” died in the crash on Route 9 in Cromwell. State police said both drivers were killed and one of the vehicles became fully engulfed in flames. State police have not yet released the names of the victims.
