crash site
Where debris settles
A crash site is the location where a vehicle—typically an aircraft—has crashed.
The term implies wreckage, investigation, and often tragedy: Investigators combed the crash site for the black box.
It extends to any collision aftermath: The crash site on the highway was still being cleared hours later.
