My grandmother grew up on Chatham St. in Newport and remembers an accident that happened in front of her house when she was a little girl. She knows that her brother had been born and was a baby. This narrows the 10 years down to 1943-1947. She can't remember exactly what year or time of year. She does remember that it involved a policeman in a high speed chase. She also knows that the policeman was killed in the accident. This is the only information she could give me. If anyone can help me research this or at least point me in the right direction, that would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.
