Abstract
A generalization of the Papacostas-Xanthopoulos solution is obtained b y applying to it a Harrison transformation. It describes the collision of two plane gravitational waves with non-collinear polarization supp orting an electromagnetic field. For a particular range of the paramet ers, no curvature singularities occur in the generalized solution.
