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.

Update at 11:37 a.m. Thursday:
The driver’s name is Yasmine Villasana. And here’s the whole police report.
