Arrival into major road bound to result in an accident (12)

I believe the answer is:

misadventure

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in an accident' is the definition.
'misadventure' can be an answer for 'accident' (misadventure is a kind of accident). I am unsure of the 'in an' bit.

'arrival into major road bound to' is the wordplay.
'arrival' becomes 'advent' (advent is a kind of arrival).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'major road' becomes 'MI' (resembles M1, English motorway).
'bound to' becomes 'sure' (synonyms).
'mi'+'sure'='misure'
'advent' put inside 'misure' is 'MISADVENTURE'.

'result' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
