Escape with a broken toe in a tug disaster (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get out

'escape' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a broken toe in a tug disaster' is the wordplay.
'a broken' is an anagram indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'disaster' is an anagram indicator.
'toe' with letters rearranged gives 'eto'.
'tug' anagrammed gives 'gut'.
'eto' going inside 'gut' is 'GET-OUT'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for get out that I've seen before include "Excuse" , "become known" , "Clear off! - escape" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
