<div>GREENVILLE -Mortimer funeral home sits right on highway 82 where lots of traffic passes by.But Saturday general manager Freddie White says he was heading into work, when this happened."Saturday morning, I pulled up to the red light when it turned green and I turned left going into the highway and a car ran the red light and hit my car".He says that moment almost made him a customer at his own place of work""If it had been a few more feet up I would've been dead, and I would have been in a body bag here in my funeral home"He says he's noticed this problem around Greenville for some time now. "I go all over town and I watched people run red lights so many times that it scares me to death"We noticed it ourselves as we witnessed two cars run the very same red light where white got hit.Washington County Coroner Laquesha Watkins says she's seen it too and talked with white about it hardly 24 hours before his accident."We were actually having a conversation Friday about how sometimes the light changes so fast that sometimes the cars collide trying to go through the light."Then came Saturday morning where I got call from Mr. White stating that just like we just talked about he just got hit."What do the numbers show?Greenville Police Chief Marcus Turner says the number of traffic accidents in the city doesn't show a major problem.He says Greenville's traffic accidents are about average for a city it's size.White says even though he works in the business of bodies he doesn't want to see anybody get seriously hurt as a result of bad driving."I don't want other people to get killed by people running red lights in Greenville Mississippi we don't need that kind of business"Instead, he'd like to see measures put in place to prevent what happened to him from happening to anyone else."I'd like to see them put cameras on some of these places and in some places where they really run red lights have a police car parked in an undisclosed location so they can see them".He says a little more care behind the wheel can keep us all safer on delta roads and highways.</div>
