The son of a woman twice convicted in a 2013 crash that cost a Battle Ground teen his right leg is wanted in connection with a February hit-and-run crash that injured a pedestrian in the Minnehaha area.

That pedestrian, Paul P. Adams, will lose his lower left leg, his mother, Nancy Peterson, told The Columbian from the hospital Friday. He is scheduled for amputation Monday. It’s possible his right leg will need to be amputated as well, she said.

Clark County sheriff’s detectives said they believe Joshua Allen Johnson was driving a red 2002 Nissan Sentra that struck Adams, 34, as he walked along the shoulder in the 4100 block of Northeast 54th Avenue, about 2 a.m. Feb. 20.

Johnson, 31, of Vancouver is wanted on suspicion of felony hit-and-run resulting in injury. The sheriff’s office said his current whereabouts are unknown and is seeking the public’s help in locating him.

Deputies said Adams was discovered lying severely injured along the roadway by a passerby. He was transported via ambulance to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in critical condition. A hospital spokesman said that Adams is now in satisfactory condition.
