Hi!

I agree all the ones you said you were not sure about.

8. To fall backwards: Literally yere düşmek, arkaya doğru. As this is from surprise or shock, I would use BAYILMAK = to faint.
(That eggplant dish: imam bayıldı: the imam almost fainted cos he lked is so much!)
8. Evleneceğimi duyunca az kalsın bayılacaktı.

10.
I agree crash = çarpmak.
Dilara asked about to crush = sıkıştırmak
to be crushed = sıkıştırılmak
I am not exactly sure which ending we add to duvar. My guess:
Onun sahip olduğu araba duvara doğru sıkıştırıldı.
