Connecticut lawmaker killed in head-on collision

A Connecticut state representative was killed after a head-on collision with a driver going the wrong way.

39-year-old Quentin Williams was returning from the governor’s inauguration ball when he was struck by another vehicle going the wrong way down Route 9.

Both Williams and the other driver were killed in the crash.

Williams was considered a rising star in Connecticut politics, and had just been sworn in for a third term earlier that night.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash, and whether alcohol or drugs were involved.
