ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A 19-year-old Winter Springs woman remains in critical condition after crashing her new motorcycle into a ditch near Colonial Drive in east Orange County.

Investigators with the Florida Highway Patrol said Shyanne Cummings made too many bad choices just moments before crashing her brand new motorcycle on Vincent Road in east Orange County. Troopers said Cummings wasn't wearing a helmet, didn't have a motorcycle endorsement and think she was going about 100 miles an hour in a 25.

"Actually had her license suspended for too many tickets within a year," said Trooper Kim Miller, Florida Highway Patrol.

From unlawful speed to careless driving, troopers said Cummings had a long list of moving violations. In fact, they said, they found a handful of tickets in one of her pockets.

So how was a 19 year old able to buy a motorcycle from a dealer without a valid license?

"It's a personal decision that someone makes. If they want to ride out of here without a license, it's like wearing a seatbelt. It's a personal choice,” said motorcycle instructor Michele Sullivan.

Florida law does not require a dealership to check if a buyer has a license or a motorcycle endorsement. Some places provide customers with motorcycle safety courses or offer to deliver the bike, and even suggest keeping it in storage until the new owner has obtained a license.

For whatever reason, Cummings chose to ride her new bike home. Twenty minutes later, she nearly lost her life.

Florida law does not require motorcyclists over the age of 21 to ride with a helmet unless they have at least $10,000 insurance coverage.
