The female driver’s first in ditch (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shed

'ditch' is the definition.
(both can mean get rid of)

'the female driver's first' is the wordplay.
'the female' becomes 'she' ('she' refers to a woman).
'driver's first' becomes 'd' (1st letter of 'driver').
'she'+'d'='SHED'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shed that I've seen before include "Get rid of - hut" , "Discard (something)" , "tools found here?" , "Drop - cast off" , "In which lawnmower is kept" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
