Ruined; ran (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dashed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'ruined' is the first definition.
(dash can mean to ruin or destroy)

'ran' is the second definition.
(dashing is a kind of running)

(Other definitions for dashed that I've seen before include "Flaming" , "Thrown to the ground, as hopes may be" , "Darted headlong" , "hurled at" , "completely destroyed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
