Sudden crisis (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emergency

(Other definitions for emergency that I've seen before include "Serious situation needing prompt action" , "ward" , "Sudden occurrence necessitating urgent action" , "Serious casualty" , "Serious situation requiring immediate action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
