There was a terrible wreck on the highway. (an accident, when two cars crash together) Did you wreck the car. (this is a verb and means did you have an accident? did you damage the car? Usually this means serious damage or complete destruction.)
He was a real wreck after drinking with his friends all night. (He drank too much and has a hangover)
Wreck can apply to ships, trains like it does with cars. Airplanes don't wreck, they crash.

There was a car crash (similar to wreck, "car wreck" or "car accident" are more common. "The plane is going to crash into the mountain. The plane crashed in the mountains."
Crash can be the sound something makes, "the dishes made a huge crash when they fell on the floor"
