   The accident occurred about 15 miles from Hartford, where the   
   governor’s inaugural ball took place.   
      
   The wrong-way driver, 27-year-old Kimede Mustafaj, also died.   
   It’s unknown if alcohol or drugs were involved.   
      
   Gov. Ned Lamont ordered flags in the state in to be flown at   
   half-staff in light of the stunning tragedy.   
      
   “This is devastating news, and I am incredibly saddened by this   
   tragedy,” the governor said in a statement.   
      
   “Quentin had an infectiously optimistic personality, and he   
   absolutely loved having the opportunity to represent his   
   lifelong home of Middletown at the State Capitol. Public service   
   was his passion, and he was always advocating on behalf of the   
   people of his hometown.”   
      
   Williams, who graduated from Middletown schools, was the new co-   
   chair of the General Assembly’s Labor and Public Employees   
   Committee. That committee was set to meet for the first time   
   Thursday, but instead all legislative activity was postponed   
   until Monday.   
      
   The state Capitol and Legislative Office Building were both   
   closed until next week.   
      
   Williams, also known as Q and a rising star in Connecticut   
   politics, leaves behind his wife and mother. He grew up in   
   public housing and went on to become the first African American   
   to represent Middletown in the General Assembly, according to   
   his biography on his legislative website.   
      
   “Representative Williams truly embodied the phrase larger than   
   life,” Middletown Mayor Ben Florsheim said in a statement. “His   
   laugh, smile, and presence were felt in every space shared with   
   him.   
      
   “His passing is a true loss for our community. A light has been   
   dimmed today.”   
      
   Lesser, the state senator, said his slain colleague talked about   
   running for statewide office one day, or even for Congress.   
      
   “These are all things that he would think about,” he said.   
   “We’ll never know. He had big dreams and hopes … I think he had   
   a damn good chance of realizing.”
