T-boned
Struck from sideways
T-boned describes a collision where one vehicle strikes another at a right angle, forming a T shape—typically when one car crashes into the side of another at an intersection: A truck ran the red light and T-boned us.
The term comes from the shape of a T-bone steak.
By extension, any forceful perpendicular impact: The linebacker T-boned him from the side.
