State Representative Quentin “Q” Williams was killed last night in a motor vehicle collision on Route 9. Williams, a Middletown Democrat, was sworn into office Wednesday for his third term and had been appointed to serve as co-chair of the legislature’s labor committee. He was 39 years old.
Early indications are that Williams was struck by a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction.
The Legislative Office Building will close today. All committee meetings are cancelled.
