This clue might be a double definition.

'wreck' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'shuffles along' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shambles that I've seen before include "Scene of slaughter or disorder" , "Slaughterhouse; mess" , "Chaotic place - slaughterhouse" , "Mediaeval street in York" , "State of total disorder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
