The parents of five children have died in a motorcycle crash in North Kingstown.

Police Chief Thomas Mulligan says the motorcycle carrying 33-year-old Brad Torti and 38-year-old Cherilynn Torti, of Coventry, was traveling north on Tower Hill Road at about 6 p.m. Sunday when a car in the southbound lane attempted to make a left turn.
