Run away like lightning? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolt

I believe this is a double definition.

'run away' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lightning?' is the second definition.
(I know that bolt is a type of lightning)

'like' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Runner" , "Run away; fasten (door)" , "Find a bar" , "Escape" , "Latch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
