In the Matter of the Claim of the ESTATE OF MARK J. PETRYLAK, Deceased, Respondent, v. EVANS PLUMBING AND HEATING COMPANY INC. et al., Appellants. WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD, Respondent. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Mercure, J.P. Decedent and a co-worker were killed in a motor vehicle accident that occurred while they were returning home from a work site. Concluding that decedent, a plumber's apprentice, was an outside employee, the Workers' Compensation Board ruled that decedent was in the course of his employment at the time of the fatal accident and awarded workers' compensation benefits to his widow. The employer and its workers' compensation carrier appeal, contending that decedent had a fixed work site at the time of the accident and, therefore, was not an outside employee. Inasmuch as the facts of this case are indistinguishable from the facts of the companion case involving the claim of the co-worker's estate, the Board's decision must be affirmed for the reasons stated in this Court's decision in the appeal in the companion case (Matter of De Rosa v. Evans Plumbing Heating Co., 277 A.D.2d 619 [decided herewith]). ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
