VERNONIA, Ore. -- A rollover Jeep crash injured three children and led to the arrest of their father Wednesday night near Vernonia.
State troopers said they arrested Michael Pihl, who has been featured in the History Channel TV show "Ax Men," after he lost control of his Jeep on his private driveway. The Jeep rolled onto its top and pinned Pihl's 3-year-old boy between the roll bar and the ground, said Lt. Gregg Hastings in a state police news release.
A LifeFlight helicopter rushed the 3-year-old boy to a Portland hospital to be treated for a head injury. Meanwhile, Pihl and his two daughters, ages 3 and 5, were taken to a hospital by ambulance to be treated for minor injuries.
None of the children were wearing seat belts at the time of the wreck, state police said.
Troopers also said alcohol was involved in the crash, which led police to arrest Pihl on charges of assault and recklessly endangering another person. Pihl has since bailed out of jail and will make his first court appearance Sept. 14.
The crash happened at about 8 p.m. on Pihl's property on Nehalem Highway. State police troopers, Columbia County deputies, Vernonia police and Vernonia firefighters all responded to the report of the crash and injuries.
The condition of 3-year-old Mathias Pihl is unknown.

Look carefully again at this article....
" A rollover Jeep crash injured three children and led to the arrest of .... their father "... Wednesday night near Vernonia. "
We saw in Season 1 that Mike does have a small child about this age...can't remember if he was a grandchild, but I am almost sure he was a son.
The post of this news report just shows that people who volunteer for these shows had better be prepared for closer scrutiny of everything they do and ought to make sure they can deal with it on a personal and professional level BEFORE they participate.in such shows.
