smashups
Wrecks with damage
Smashups are violent collisions, especially between vehicles: a multi-car smashup on the interstate.
The term extends to any chaotic collision or combination—a cultural smashup might blend incompatible elements.
In music and video, a mashup (the more common spelling for creative works) combines elements from different sources into something new.
