Black-eyed Susan crashed a red Buick (9)

I believe the answer is:

rudbeckia

'black-eyed susan' is the definition.
(I know that black-eyed susan can be written as Rudbeckia)

'crashed a red buick' is the wordplay.
'crashed' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'red'+'buick'='aredbuick'
'aredbuick' with letters rearranged gives 'RUDBECKIA'.

(Another definition for rudbeckia that I've seen is " Plant".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
