Decelerated (6)

I think it could be either:

braked

slowed

'decelerated' is the definition.
(slowing is a kind of decelerating)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for slowed that I've seen before include "Braked" , "Applied the brakes" , "Reduced speed" , "Decelerated" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun.
