Scituate, R.I. Rhode Island State Police are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash on Route 246 (Old Louisquisset Pike) at the Route 146 South off-ramp in the Town of Lincoln.
The deceased is identified as Christopher Auter, 37, of Lincoln, Rhode Island. He was transported from the scene by emergency medical services and later pronounced dead at Rhode Island Hospital.
