Lineups are for losers

Yasmine Villasana isn’t blaming it on the alcohol, but Dallas police certainly are.

The Texas native was approaching a toll booth at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport when her car seemed to accelerate before hitting a divider and going airborne.

The incident was caught on tape in a 12-second video that immediately went viral.

According to a police report, Villasana said she only consumed "one cranberry and vodka last night."

Villasana claimed that she "had been rear-ended as she was approaching the Toll Plaza which caused her vehicle launch into the air, land on the roadway and catch on fire."


But police believe she was intoxicated and have charged the 22-year-old with drunk driving.

Images from the Dallas Observer show the car, post-crash, after it burst in flames.

One vodka cranberry, eh? That bartender makes some really strong drinks!

Perhaps it was her impersonation of a Georgian luge athlete?

Umm, getting rearended by someone wouldn't be putting you at about 100 mph.

[DaShi]

You would know.

I saw that video clip on CNN yesterday.

She drives almost as well as the woman who parked at Extreme Fitness a few months ago in Toronto:

Some parking spaces are just so tough to get into.


I once saw a woman fall out of her car while on the entrance ramp to an underground lot. She was stopped at the ticket dispenser but couldn't quite reach the ticket through her open window. She undid her seat belt to get a little extra reach but it still wasn't enough so she opened the door a just a bit. Success at last! Just as she grabbed the ticket her weight pushing on the door caused it to open completely and out she fell. Of course she neglected to put her car in park during this procedure so when her foot came off the brake the car started forward. It went about 50' before crashing into a concrete pillar.

OP: Maybe it was a Toyota

From the pics at the website it looks like a Chev.

Too bad as her chances would be better with that defence (slim to none) than the "one cranberry and vodka last night" story.

You're making that up.

Woman crushed in parking garage accident

A woman driver reaching for a parking garage ticket in Calgary, Alberta, was crushed to death when her vehicle lunged forward, police said.

The accident happened Wednesday evening as the unidentified woman in her 30s was seen straining to reach the ticket dispenser, the Calgary Herald reported.

Calgary Police Inspector Frank Reuser said the woman then partly opened her SUV's door for a better reach.

"For some reason the vehicle rolled and she became jammed between the door and the pole. The door started to close but her body was in the way," Reuser said.

The vehicle then struck a steel and concrete security barrier, the Calgary Sun said.

Fire crews worked to extricate the woman and removed the driver's door, but paramedics pronounced the woman dead at the scene, the Sun said.

Police are investigating what Reuser called a "freak and unfortunate" accident, the Herald said.

The best is as she realizes what she's done and leaves.

How can you call that a happy ending?
