BENTON, Judge.
Timothy Eric Carlson, a member of the Virginia National Guard, was killed in a car accident while en route to his base for training. His widow, Janine Carlson, appeals from a Workers’ Compensation Commission decision denying an award of death benefits and funeral expenses. The commission ruled that Carlson’s death did not arise out of, or in the course of, his employment because Carlson’s death occurred while he was going to work and did not fall within any of the well recognized exceptions to the “coming and going” rule. We affirm the decision.
