Woodstock Police report a 27% increase in collisions so far this year.
Drivers might blame it on the weather and road conditions, but police say 'not so fast'.
There has been a significant increase in crashes in Woodstock since January 1st. So far this year, police have responded to 190 collisions. That's compared to 138 in the same time frame last year.
