Urban Dictionary defines crash blossoms as:

crash blossoms
(n.) — a neologism for infelicitously-worded newspaper headlines which at first reading seem to mean one thing but upon second reading mean something completely different; often hard to figure out at first; called “crash blossoms” because one specific headline from a newspaper used the two words — “crash blossoms” — in a confusing way
