WHIPPED, DROPPED OFF and KNOCKED OFF

Hello friends,
could someone explain to me the meaning of these expressions (in capital letters)?:
'By the time we got to California everybody was WHIPPED so we DROPPED Mingus OFF and me and Max went to his hotel. (...) Now, one day Max let Mingus use his car and Mingus KNOCKED a whell OFF the car. He ran into a fire hydrant trying not to hit a cat.'

Thanks in advance, Jo.
