Providence police ID motorcyclist killed in crash

PROVIDENCE – The police this morning identified the man who died in a motorcycle-car collision on Manton Avenue last evening as 46-year-old Robert J. Deshaies of 112 Ortoleva Drive in Providence.

Traveling east at 6:55 p.m., Deshaies collided with a westbound car turning left in front of him to pull into the Stop & Shop parking lot at 850 Manton Ave., Major Paul Fitzgerald said.

Fault has not been determined, and the accident is still under investigation, Fitzgerald said. No charges have been filed.

The driver of the 2003 Volkswagen -- Junel Decena, 25, of 12 Cedar Pond Drive in Warwick -- was not injured, Fitzgerald said. Deshaies was riding a 1999 Honda motorcycle.
