Hit-and-run victim receives donated wheelchair

Cascade Highlands — After being struck by a car Feb. 20, Paul Adams had the lower half of his left leg amputated, and on May 24, he was given a wheelchair from the Center for Defensive Driving. The nonprofit agency received a non-working motorized wheelchair from a woman in Hood River, Ore., and brought it to All In One Mobility, Inc., in Portland to have it fixed up. Adams was hit by an alleged hit-and-run driver while walking along a road in Vancouver’s Truman neighborhood, and suffered two shattered legs, a broken left arm, back and ribs and a head laceration.
