Donk, not quite right, one may be stationary wrt your frame of reference, as the stationary object will still exert an equal and opposite force on the moving object, thus both objects will experience a change in their momentum.

This sort of thing goes on the world over (collision) & where you have humans & machines in the mix it's inevitable. Amazing it's not happening more actually.
Some tea & bickies I'd say
As for 'collision'? Well I think we get the gist of things here. ...in a police reportt...........the collision with the tree was of such force that it broke the car in two.

Thats what you get when you have somebody throwing bags one minute and then pushing back an $85 Million Dollar aircraft (that he has no respect for) the next...
