My main reason would be momentum – it depends on the mass as
well as the speed of the colliding objects. For example if two sedans
travelling in a low speed bump each other, then probably the damage would be
minimal scratches. However, if a high speed car crashes unto a heavy truck also
travelling fast, then the result would be catastrophic.

an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions resulting in more or less no overall electric charge, typically at low pressures (as in the upper atmosphere and in fluorescent lamps) or at very high temperatures (as in stars and nuclear fusion reactors).
