smashup
Serious car accident
A smashup is a violent collision, especially of vehicles: a smashup on the highway.
The word emphasizes destruction and force—not a fender-bender but a wreck with serious damage.
By extension, any spectacular failure or collapse: the smashup of their marriage.
Also spelled smash-up.
