Caught as a car meandered around city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caracas

'city' is the definition.
(Caracas is an example)

'caught as a car meandered' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'meandered' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'meandering' mean this).
'as'+'a'+'car'='asacar'
'asacar' anagrammed gives 'aracas'.
'c'+'aracas'='CARACAS'

'around' is the link.

(Other definitions for caracas that I've seen before include "Capital city" , "Venezuelan capital" , "South American city" , "South American capital" , "Capital of Venezuela" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
