EXCLUSIVE: Widow of fallen Salt River Police officer speaks to FOX 10

PHOENIX (FOX 10) -- "I'm 25-years-old and I have to bury my husband," Deanna Townsend said. "That one text, that email, it's not worth it. It could be you, the driver, it could be someone you hit, even if you don't hit someone else, the family would still feel the loss of your life." It's a cause Deanna Townsend is now devoted to. She stood with family, close friends and lawmakers on the capitol lawn in honor of her husband, Salt River Police Officer Clayton Townsend.
