SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota woman has pleaded guilty to her seventh drunken driving charge since 1990 following a crash that seriously injured two people.

Cynthia Goeman changed her plea to guilty Monday.

Authorities say Goeman on July 13 pulled out in front of 24-year-old Quintin McMartin’s motorcycle. The crash left the former University of South Dakota football standout with life-threatening injuries.

The 21-year-old passenger, Michelle Tarian, fractured her skull in the crash.

Authorities say Goeman registered a .10 blood-alcohol level following the incident.

Court records show she has a spate of drunken driving arrests dating back 25 years. Her previous drunk driving conviction was in 2011 when she went to jail for nearly six months and had her license revoked for a year.

It’s unclear whether she has legal representation.
