Whats up with these totally random and vague questions today?

What do you mean professionally, like you need the cars to crash and make it look professionally, you already have 4 cars your gonna crash and you need camera angles, sound effects??????

Are the cars crashing into each other, into buildings, or into people? Do you have the budget for stunt drivers and destroyed cars or are you looking for ways to fake it?

Well then your best way is to go CGI, if you have no experience in this get yourself a CGI artist.

Two ways to fake it without CGI.

Put two cars together and reverse them rapidly away from the crash site and reverse the film. This works for the last seconds of the crash, then you cut to black for the actual accident.

Show the cars coming together then cut to the face of one of the drivers as they look in fear and try to swerve. Sound and reaction shots sell the crash.

Here are some hints from a previous thread (car vs pedestrian) that may give some ideas as well.
