Are you more likely to bleed to death if an artery is cleanly severed than when it is crushed and torn?

I would assume when it is cleanly severed.
Provided that you are talking about the same measurement of the opening: When it is crushed and torn there are ragged edges that hold blood clots easier, also the additional damage to the surrounding tissues and blood vessels would cause an inflammatory reaction faster.
Answer
Severed would be quicker, but if you could get to it quickly you may be saved. A crush one would be slower I should Imagine but harder to fix.
If it is cut clean there is nothing stopping the blood from coming out even the slightest it'll be like a hose if not patched up. The reason a person may live or live longer with a crushed and torn artery is because it crushed is not broken while it being raggedly can by patched up by the blood cells easily cause it can catch on to something.
Because when the artery is cleanly severed there is less area for your blood to clot
