In a culture obsessed with rapid response, wrecker drivers transform their vehicles into eye-catching works of art
Sleek, modified SUVs weave through South Korea’s congested streets with astonishing agility on a daily basis. Known as wreckers, these privately owned vehicles often beat emergency services to the scene of an accident, quickly clearing the wreckage to restore the flow of traffic.
Equipped with foldable underlifts and a low-slung chassis, they are custom-built to efficiently navigate narrow alleys and heavy traffic, ensuring rapid response times that minimize disruption on the roads.
