What is a "wreck"?
A wreck is a vehicle, building, or other structure that has been badly damaged, often beyond repair. This term is used to describe objects that have been destroyed or severely harmed, typically due to an accident, collision, or disaster, and are no longer in a usable or safe condition. For example, a vehicle may be called a wreck if it has been heavily damaged in a crash, or a building may be considered a wreck if it has fallen into disrepair or been damaged to the point of being unsafe to occupy.
