Holding
[The] question is whether under the uncontroverted facts the accident arose out of and in the course of [the appellee’s] employment, as required by Code § 65.1-7. Specifically, we must decide whether [the appellee], who was injured off his employer’s premises while going home from work, came within one of the recognized exceptions to the general rule that an employee is not covered by the Workmen’s Compensation Act in coming to or going from work.
