The Windsor Police Service is responding to more collisions in the city so far this year but fewer accidents involving injuries.
In the last year, the Windsor Police Service has recorded a 25.5 per cent decrease in motor vehicle collisions that involve injuries.
Deputy Chief Jason Crowley attributes this to increase police pre sense at Windsor's most dangerous intersections.
"I think people see the police there, we've made no secret about it, we're going to be there, we tell people we're going to be there so when they are seeing us I think that is helping and when the collisions happen at lower speeds then we're definitely getting less injuries," said Crowley.
In the area of Howard Avenue and the E.C. Row Expressway alone there has been 63 per cent fewer collisions involving injuries.
He said many low-speed collisions happen because of distracted driving.
"I think a lot of people are of the opinion that at a red light they can pick up their phone and I think that's where you see a lot of these low speed collisions," said Crowley. "That is not part of the legislation. You cannot pick up your phone at a red light it has to be out of your hands."
