Driving through DFW international airport I've always secretly wondered what it would be like if I tried to jump the ramp-esque barriers of the tollbooths....This drunk driver has successfully managed just that, and it's caught on the security camera. It's amazing noone got hurt. Please don't drink and drive like this idiot. We already have airbags and seatbelts for safety, we shouldn't need to implement parachutes also.




A good Friend of Unfair Park, through a friend of a friend of a friend, just shot us this extraordinary video captured early yesterday morning at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Took place at the north toll plaza, which served as a launching ramp for one drunk driver trying to exit the airport in a hurry. DFW spokesman David Magana confirms: "The driver was, as you might guess, suspected of inebriation and investigated for such and arrested for such."

We also have fiery post-crash pics after the jump -- because after the driver went all General Lee, she got out and made a call on her cell, at which point the vehicle went boom. Hard to believe the "driver only suffered minor injuries," as Magana puts it. Oh -- and the toll-booth operator wasn't injured at all.
