Description

Petition, for workmen's compensation. The plaintiff's intestate had charge of a filling station of the defendant located at the side of the highway between West Lebanon and Hanover. He lived at the premises and was in service during daytime. While alone at the station and on duty he crossed the highway to make a purchase for his personal use at a store opposite the station. On his return, while in the highway and nearly reaching the grounds of the station he was struck by an automobile and killed. His personal errand was one not forbidden by the defendant and was one reasonably expected to be permitted. It was found that the errand was ""a natural incident"" of the decedent's employment. Without ruling, the court (Johnston, J.) transferred the question whether the accident arose out of and in the course of the decedent's employment.
