Hurricanes don't really collide in the sense that two objects can. As the circulations of two tropical cyclones approach each other, outflows from the tops of the storms will meet. This will cause the outflows to partially stagnate - which will weaken both systems. Low level inflow will also become asymmetric as each circulation limits the extent of the other.

Ultimately, if the interaction continues, both circulations will dissipate, leaving a broader area of low pressure and disturbed weather. In time, a new tropical cyclone could develop from the remnants of the two systems.

they can combine and get stronger, but they might sort of neutralize each other, depending on the force and the spin.

I think they will kind of knock each other out, and disperse each other.
