Swerves (5)
I believe the answer is:
veers
'swerves' is the definition.
('veer' can be a synonym of 'swerve')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for veers that I've seen before include "Changes direction abruptly" , "Turns sharply" , "Swerves" .)
I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the LA Times, The Star Tribune and the Evening Standard.
