.....”carnage....”...?
not the proper use of that word, but I guess in the UK it may mean something else....

“Carnage refers to the violent killing of a large number of people, especially in the context of war or battle. It can also describe great destruction of life and is often associated with scenes of bloodshed and slaughter.”

I’ve described the scattering of vehicles on Hwy 3 as carnage. A dozen or so semi tractor and trailer units jackknifed all the way up a climb to a mountain pass, no possible travel until both a couple of wreckers and a sanding plow show up, people huddled in one or two vehicles warming up because it’s minus 30.

I’d consider that a form of carnage.
