crash into + noun phrase (the object hit)

用法筆記

Inseparable phrasal verb — the object that is hit must follow “into”, not come between “crash” and “into”. The subject is usually a moving vehicle or its driver.

常見錯誤

❗ “The car crashed the tree into.” ✅ “The car crashed into a tree.” — “crash into” is inseparable; the object always follows “into”.

❗ “The driver was tired and crashed into.” ✅ “The driver was tired and crashed into a lamppost.” — “crash into” always needs an object; it cannot be used alone.
