We're supposed to translate the following sentence into spanish:
It smashed cars and destroyed buildings.
The verb our book told us to use for "smashed" is "hacer pedazos." Would you say "Hizo pedazos los coches..." or "Hizo pedazos de los coches..." or something different entirely?

I think that "Hizo pedazos de los coches" might be what you need, as it would transliterate into "It made pieces of the cars" rather than "It made pieces the cars", but "hizo pedazos [noun]" could be idiomatic or not necessarily grammatical, so I'm not entirely sure.
