Driver Jumps the Toll -- Literally

The only commentary I can come up with for this one is;
'GOOD-GOOG'A-MOOG'A'

When asked if she had been drinking, Villasana reportedly "stated she had one cranberry and vodka last night." ..Erm OK?


Call her the "Duchess of Hazzard."

Police say 22-year-old Yasmine Villasana was driving drunk outside of Dallas when she veered into a sloped barrier in front of a toll plaza and launched her car into a Hollywood-worthy aerial, caught on tape by surveillance cameras.

The Fort Worth, Texas, resident's Chevy Impala took flight early Tuesday and sailed over one vehicle before returning to the roadway, striking the toll plaza, rolling upside down and bursting into flames near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

I just can't stop watching this!


Villasana -- who suffered a broken wrist in the accident -- insists the crash wasn't her fault.

According to a police report obtained by the Dallas Observer, Villasana said she "had been rear-ended as she was approaching the toll plaza, which caused her vehicle to strike the toll booth protector barricade, launch into the air, land on the roadway and catch on fire."

However, the officer who responded to the accident noted that an "inspection of the vehicle did not show evidence of the Impala having damage from a rear-end collision."

Villasana's dramatic vehicle jump might have made Uncle Jesse and the Duke boys proud, but law enforcement officials were nonplussed.

When asked if she had been drinking, Villasana reportedly "stated she had one cranberry and vodka last night."

Officers then issued a breathalyzer test and arrested her on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
