Instrument from old vehicle Ian crashed (7)
I believe the answer is:
ocarina
'instrument' is the definition.
(I know that ocarina is a type of wind)
'old vehicle ian crashed' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'crashed' indicates an anagram.
'ian' with letters rearranged gives 'ina'.
'o'+'car'+'ina'='OCARINA'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ocarina that I've seen before include "Primitive wind instrument" , "Egg-shaped type of flute" , "we blow it" , "Terracotta wind instr." , "Bird-shaped flute" .)
