A driver leaving an airport early on Tuesday morning launched over a tollbooth after hitting a concrete lane divider.
The female driver, later identified as 22-year-old Yasmine Villasana, hit a protective barrier at the north end of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport at a high rate of speed.
The driver and her vehicle flew over the tollbooth - and another vehicle in the lane paying a toll - and landed on the other side of the booth shortly after 6 a.m. on Tuesday. The driver told police she had been rear-ended as she was approaching the toll plaza and that the collision caused her vehicle to strike the protector barricade.
After landing, the woman's car burst into flames. She was able to get out safely, but police said she kept trying to get back into the vehicle while it was on fire. The woman walked away with minor injuries, including an injury to her shoulder. The tollbooth attendant and the other driver were not injured.
