A 36-year-old woman has been cited for careless driving after crashing into an aquarium at Tampa International Airport while her child sat unrestrained on her lap.

Airport officials say Yamile Campuzano-Martine lost control of her vehicle and drove into the saltwater tank Monday night. She told investigators that she was picking up a relative at the airport.

Campuzano-Martine had two children in her vehicle, including a 6-year-old boy. Witnesses reportedly saw a child sitting on her lap at the time of the crash.

Campuzano-Martine declined an offer to transport the boy, who had a knot on his forehead, to a hospital. She was also cited for child restraint and failure to provide a driver's license.

The aquarium drained during the crash. About 90 percent of the fish in the tank were killed.
