Driver Attempts Creative Method to Avoid Toll Booth [video]

Woman drives Chevy Impala over a toll station

Want to avoid paying at a toll booth? Try doing it the Dukes of Hazard way.

This video footage comes from a security camera at the Dallas airport parking lot. The driver of a Chevy Impala, apparently seeking to avoid going through the booth, drove the car up a 30-ft barrier and jumped over the toll station. The car burst into flames upon landing.

The female driver, Yasmine Villasana (22) broke her wrist in the crash and claimed her car had been rear-ended. Although, neither the videotape nor the inspection of her car by police show any evidence of a rear-end collision. Luckily, no one else was injured in the incident.

These kind of short (12-seconds) videos are just made for the internet, aren't they?

i don't complain about things like the "highway freestyles" in Dubai or the motorshow girls feature (although i am morally opposed to the latter). but i don't understand how a drunk motorist nearly getting themselves killed and putting other road users and toll booth workers in serious danger is funny or newsworthy.

It's entertaining, a spectacle, sensational, something the WCF audience might be interested to see or know about? And yes, for some people, especially those from Dallas, it is indeed newsworthy.

subh39 you old man. I hate to imagine how boring you would be to meet in person. If you've got a problem with it, then please by all means go to another site. A video like this once in a while is nice and different. Keep up the good work WCF!

There?s also always the option to simply not read the story or watch the video if it is something you oppose. Land of the free......and all that.

Forget sub's dark comment, I thought this was kinda funny. The drunk guy probably thought he was playing Burnout I guess.
