A 37-year-old Jackson woman has acknowledged driving drunk when she hit a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper's car, forcing him to jump onto the hood to avoid being hit. Claire Johnson appeared in court last Wednesday and said she was thankful she didn't hurt or kill Trooper Andy Jackson in the June 17th crash in Jackson. She pleaded guilty to DUI and careless driving, and sentencing has been set for Sept. 26. Johnson says she was driving home on Broadway when she saw Jackson's cruiser with its lights on. As she turned on her signal to change lanes, she dropped her phone and reached for it. She says she drifted to the left, overcorrected and hit the cruiser.
