Hits the brakes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stops

'hits the brakes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stops that I've seen before include "Checks" , "Halts" , "Posts (anag.)" , "Ceases" , "Discontinues" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
