"Two cars crashing to the tree has happened"

"Two cars crashing to the tree has happened"
Subject Verb

Is the structure of the sentence okay to use to native English speakers? If you do not like the example, you can change it, but my question is whether the structure, long subjects including present participles is possible or not.
Thank you so much as always and have a good day.
