Grammar
"into collision with" Is this correct grammar?
Hi,
I've today completed a court claim form and used the phrase: "XXX emerged from a side road into collison with the Claimant's vehicle"
I am usually an highly concious person with regard to my grammar and a colleague challenged whether it was correct in this instance. Any clarification would be much appreciated...
