Financial disaster an accident? (5)
I believe the answer is:
crash
This clue might be a double definition.
'financial disaster' is the first definition.
'crash' can be an answer for 'disaster' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'financial' bit.
'an accident?' is the second definition.
(I know that crash is a type of accident)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crash that I've seen before include "Car accident" , "Economic collapse" , "Bang" , "failure" , "(Of shares) fall suddenly by a great amount" .)
