A female soldier who defused more than 60 Taliban bombs during a tour of Afghanistan has been jailed after killing a hitchhiker while texting at the wheel.

Captain Alison Dray, 31, received a Queen’s commendation for her work in the gulf and is the only female British bomb disposal expert to complete a full tour of Afghanistan.

But Captain Dray, from Rochester, Kent, was jailed for nine months for hitting and killing 32-year-old Ashley Taylor with her car while surfing the internet on her mobile phone.
