Perhaps lag behind on jeep, arriving at bend (5)

I believe the answer is:

crimp

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bend' is the definition.
('crimp' can be a synonym of 'bend')

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for crimp that I've seen before include "Fold or press into ridges" , "wave" , "Compress into small folds or ridges" , "tight lock" , "Bend into shape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
