WHEN YASMINE VILLASANA LEFT THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AIRPORT a couple of weeks ago on Memorial Day she decided to take off like the planes do.  Racing up to the toll booth plaza to enter the parkway, her car climbed the protective barrier in front of the toll-takers booth and sailed over it, landing on the other side in a heap with the car catching on fire from the smasheroo.

According to the police report filed by the responding officer, the woman who has plenty of tattoo’s but no job, told him that she was rear-ended and that caused her to crash.  When asked if she had been drinking, she said no, not since she had one drink the night before.  The officer also noted that she kept trying to get back into her car while it was burning.

The 125 feet of skidmarks and lack of any rear-end damage tended to make her story a little suspect.  The clincher though, was the toll road authority’s surveillance tape showing her takeoff and landing practice:

After giving her a breathalyzer test, the officer arrested her on  DUI charge.  Amazingly, her only injury was a broken wrist.

The Dallas Observer carried the STORY.
