CRASHED Meaning and Definition

  1. Crashed is a verb that refers to the sudden and forceful impact or collision of an object, often resulting in damage or destruction. It commonly describes the act of two or more entities coming into contact with great force, typically unintentionally or unexpectedly. The term is frequently associated with accidents involving vehicles, such as cars, airplanes, bicycles, or boats, but can also apply to incidents involving other solid objects.

    When something crashes, it can produce a loud noise or disturbance due to the energy released during the impact, as well as the breaking or shattering of materials involved.
