Head of police called, revealing accident (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prang

'accident' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'head of police called' is the wordplay.
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
'called' becomes 'rang' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'call').
The initial letter of 'police' is 'p'.
'p'+'rang'='PRANG'

'revealing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for prang that I've seen before include "Minor accident" , "Bomb attack" , "Possible argument with van" , "damage" , "Crash (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
