smash

An object or thing is smashed when it's broken into pieces or crushed.

When we say something was smashed, often what we mean is that it got damaged severely. For example, if someone crashes their car into a wall, the airbags might deploy and the front end could get smashed. If you're making something in the kitchen and accidentally knock over a jar of cookies, they've probably been smashed all over the counter. Smashed can also be used to describe an object that's intentionally broken down or destroyed, like if someone smashes their phone on purpose.
