Given data

• Sentence: The car in which the minister was traveling ____ with an accident.
• Task: supply the idiomatic verb.

Concept/Approach
The established expression is to meet with an accident. Although alternatives like collided or crashed exist, the sentence already supplies with an accident, so the verb that fits is met.

Option analysis
met — completes the idiom: met with an accident. ✅collided — would need a noun phrase after it (collided with a truck), not with an accident. ❌dashed — not used transitively here; dashed against would still not fit with an accident. ❌faced — faced an accident is non-idiomatic. ❌

Final Answer
met
