undriveable

Road too damaged

Undriveable describes a vehicle or road that cannot be driven.

A car may be undriveable because of mechanical failure, damage, or missing parts; a road may be undriveable because of flooding, obstacles, or severe deterioration.

The spelling undrivable, without the middle e, is equally common.

After the accident, the car was completely undriveable.
