A collision occurs when two ethernet devices speak at the same time when in half duplex mode and connected by a hub. Ethernet also called CSMA/CD stands for Carrier Sense Media Access, Collision Detect, so upon a collision it is detected and both ethernet cards back off a random amount of time (not too long) and try again without the collision next time.
