Detectives in accident investigation (3)
I believe the answer is:
cid
'detectives' is the definition.
(abbreviation for Criminal Investigation Department)
'in accident investigation' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CID' is hidden within 'accident investigation'.
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
