plowing into

Ramming straight into

Plowing into means colliding with force, like a plow breaking through earth: A truck plowed into the crowd.

It also describes attacking food or work with aggressive energy: She plowed into her homework, He plowed into the buffet.

The collision sense emphasizes impact; the effort sense emphasizes determined forward momentum.
