Problem: If a car would hit a crate, how the crate would react?

If you don't have a clue I suggest you don't try. Complex maths is the answer, easy answer is to use triganometry to determine at what angle from the cars velocity the crate is, and send it flying off at that angle.

Is there a physics engine that could be used with dark basic? As the game industry uses Havok, shouldn't be there a freeware engine?

A physics dll is in development and should be released with U6 (i think) sometime this summer. It wont be freeware, but I'm sure it wont be expensive. TheDarthster also wrote a rigid body physics demo, I'm not sure that it was open source though.

In the meantime you don't really need to use physics. If its a raceing game with the car moveing at high speeds, just make the box scripted so that as soon as you hit it, it has a predetermened responce.

try to think of a simple solution yourself, rather than relying on some kind of pre-made "engine". you'll be a better programmer for it.
