E. Providence man dies today after Sunday collision

PROVIDENCE -- A 51-year-old East Providence man died this afternoon at Rhode Island Hospital, where he has been since a motorcycle crash Sunday, according to the police.

Michael Stevens suffered severe head injuries when his 1977 Harley Davidson motorcycle collided with a 1990 Toyota Corolla just after 5 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Waterman Avenue and North Broadway in East Providence. He was taken by ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was in critical condition until today.

The female driver of the car was not injured, said Sgt. Thomas Rush, head of the East Providence Police Department’s traffic division. He would not identify her because the investigation of the accident is ongoing.

Rush said no witnesses to the accident have yet to come forward, and asked anyone with information to call the traffic division at (401) 435-7654.

“We need someone who saw it but wasn’t involved,” he said.
