George L. Turpin and Ralph E. Eutsler V‪.‬

In this workers' compensation case, claimants George L. Turpin and Ralph E. Eutsler were injured in an automobile accident after leaving Pardners, a restaurant and bar in Nixa, Missouri. The administrative law Judge (ALJ) found that their injuries were compensable. The Labor and Industrial Relations Commission (Commission) affirmed the award of the ALJ by a split decision. The employer (Lynn's Electric) 1 and its insurer appeal from the award in each case. The appeals are consolidated because the facts and issues are identical in each case. In its two points relied on, the employer contends that the Commission erred in determining that the claimants' injuries ""arose out of"" and ""in the course of"" their employment. We agree and reverse the award.
