Incident Summary:

On 11/10/2020, at approx. 7:47 AM St. Louis Co. Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the vicinity of the 1900 block Lavell Rd. regarding an open 911 call from a male requesting "help".    Deputies responded and eventually located Cermak on a trail in a wooded area near a hunting shack.

He was located sitting in the trail approximately 40 feet away from his ATV.  It appeared Cermak had been operating his ATV on the trail when it veered to the left side of the trail causing him to be ejected off of the machine.  He was the sole occupant on the ATV and was able to use his personal cell phone to summon help following the incident. 

Cermak was stabilized at the scene by the Hibbing Ambulance Service then air lifted down to Essentia-St. Mary's Duluth hospital by Life Link helicopter with serious injuries.  The incident remains under investigation by the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office.
