wrecker
Vehicle recovery truck
A wrecker is someone or something that wrecks—destroys or ruins.
A wrecker can be a person who demolishes buildings, a vehicle that tows disabled cars, or someone who causes shipwrecks to salvage cargo.
Figuratively, a wrecker undermines relationships, plans, or institutions: He was a wrecker of marriages.
In some contexts, wrecker implies deliberate sabotage.
