By gauging an Abelian electromagnetic (em) solution through a non-Abelian transformation and in accordance with a theorem proved long time ago, we construct a simple class of colliding Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) plane waves. The solution is isometric to the Wu-Yang charged Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole and shares much of the properties satisfied by colliding Einstein-Maxwell (EM) plane waves. In the linear polarization limit with unit degenerate charge it reduces to the Bell-Szekeres (BS) solution for colliding em shock waves.
