DALLAS - 22-year-old Yasmine Villasana of Fort Worth, Texas was arrested for drunk driving after she launched her Chevy Impala car at a toll plaza at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Her car struck the toll booth protector barricade, launched into the air, landed back onto the roadway and then caught on fire.

Police said Villasana attempted to get back into her vehicle while it was still on fire.

In the police report, Villasana claimed she had only "one cranberry and vodka" the night before and that her car was rear-ended.

But the report stated that an inspection of the vehicle showed no evidence of that of being struck from the rear.

Villasana suffered a broken wrist in the accident. No one else, including the toll booth operator, were injured."

No kidding... at least those big barrier ramps seem to work - no one was hurt in the booths

[redxblack]

So she cleared the booths? Hmmmm. I think I may have found a workaround to an ez-pass!

That's made the news here in DFW a lot. How drunk do you have to be at 6:13AM to pull off a stunt like that? She supposedly had just dropped off her boyfriend to catch a flight. Bet that was an exciting drive to the airport? I love the fact that she tried to get back in the burning wreakage and drive away. And the fact she claimed someone rear ended her and that's what caused the accident. They didn't have to do a breathalyzer test... that's got drunk driver written all over it in capital letters!!!

I really love the fact that she tried to get back into the burning car. That shot is straight out of Gone in 60 Sec!

An actual newspaper really wrote "no one else... were injured?!?"

I think I weep more over that than over the drunk driver.
