A 36-year-old woman lost control of her pickup truck on the lower baggage claim level of the Tampa International Airport on Monday night. The resulting crash into a 12-foot, 1,500 gallon aquarium that was part of a larger $200,000 public art exhibit at the airport killed 90 percent of the 30 to 40 saltwater fish that were in the tank.
The driver had a 6-year-old boy on her lap who was unrestrained. Luckily, neither occupant of the truck was seriously injured. She was cited for careless driving, lack of a child restraint and failure to produce a driver's license.
It wasn't known if the fish would be donated to a nearby sushi restaurant.
