T-boning
Hitting car's flank
T-boning is crashing into the side of another vehicle at a perpendicular angle, forming a T-shape at impact.
The term comes from car accidents where one vehicle strikes another broadside: He ran the red light and T-boned a minivan.
Extended to any forceful perpendicular collision: The linebacker T-boned the quarterback.
