Connecticut State Representative Quentin “Q” Williams died Thursday in a head-on collision while driving home from his swearing-in ceremony and Gov. Ned Lamont’s inaugural ball.

According to the accident report, the fatal incident happened early Thursday on Route 9 in Cromwell. Williams was driving south in his 2015 Infiniti in the left lane “near the Exit 18 entrance ramp.” The second vehicle’s operator, 27-year-old Kimede Katie Mustafaj of Manchester, Connecticut, was driving her 2014 Toyota north in the Southbound lane (wrong way), striking Williams’ car head-on. Williams’ car stopped on the left shoulder and burst into flames. Mustafaj’s car stopped in the median.

“I am in shock,” Ritter remarked. “Q was my dear friend and I am scarred by his sudden loss. We will have time to reflect on Q as a legislator in the weeks to come, but right now I deeply mourn my friend and send all of my love to Carrissa, Queen and Q’s family. We will all miss Q.”
