Narrative:

Air carrier Y B737-300 taxied onto runway 5R at taxiway D in pvd during the takeoff roll of our aircraft on runway 5R in pvd. WX was 2400 ft RVR. Air carrier X captain saw the B737 on the runway and aborted the takeoff at 75 KIAS. B737 stopped about 1/3 of the width of runway 5R. We diverted from the runway centerline to the right (see diagram on reverse side). Supplemental information from acn 497141: I aborted the takeoff with the aircraft slowing to a speed as to be able to maneuver around the B737 as his nose was about in the middle of the runway.
