Hang up near miss (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

close call

This clue is a double definition.

'hang up' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'near miss' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for close call that I've seen before include "A near thing" , "Lucky escape" , "Narrow escape" , "One may be disputed in court" , "Narrow squeak" .)

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