Opinion
RIVERA, J. —
Petitioner Travelers Casualty & Surety Company (Travelers) seeks to set aside the decision of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) finding that Mark Dreher sustained a psychiatric injury resulting from a sudden and extraordinary employment condition within the meaning of Labor Code 1 section 3208.3, subdivision (d). We conclude that Dreher’s accident was not extraordinary within the meaning of section 3208.3 and therefore annul the decision of the WCAB and remand with instructions to deny Dreher’s claim for psychiatric injury.
