Rio Arriba County investigators are trying to figure out if a deputy was driving a patrol car dangerously when the car rolled with a civilian inside.

The Rio Arriba County Sheriff's Office said Deputy Anthony Armijo was taking the civilian on a ride-along early Saturday when he totaled the brand-new $40,000 police cruiser.

Reports said the deputy was responding to another officer's call at a high speed when he swerved to avoid dogs in the road and lost control.

The sheriff's office said dispatch records may not show Armijo responding to a call before the crash because he had not yet arrived on scene.

The accident happened just after 1 a.m. Saturday.

Investigators said there were no signs of alcohol or drugs in Armijo's system.

No one was seriously hurt.
