Carol Breedlove rear-ended appellant Bell while driving a car owned by appellee Stroh Brewery Company which was provided to *851her for business and personal use. Bell sued Breedlove and Stroh to recover for personal injuries sustained in the accident. The claim against Stroh was premised on the theory of respondeat superior.
After discovery, Stroh moved for summary judgment on the ground that Breedlove was not acting within the scope of her employment at the time of the accident. The motion was granted, and this appeal by plaintiff Bell followed.
“The general rule of respondeat superior follows: When a servant causes an injury to another, the test to determine if the master is liable is whether or not the servant was at the time of the injury acting within the scope of his employment and on the business of the master. [Cits.] ‘Where a vehicle is involved in a collision, and it is shown that the automobile is owned by a person, and that the opera-of the vehicle is in the employment of that person, a presumption arises that the employee was in the scope of his employment at the time of the collision, and the burden is then on the defendant employer to show otherwise.’ [Cits.] This must be done by clear, positive and uncontradicted evidence. [Cit.]” Allen Kane’s Major Dodge v. Barnes, 243 Ga. 776, 777 (257 SE2d 186) (1979).
There is a question of fact with respect to whether Breedlove was within the scope of her employment when the collision occurred. It is not so clear-cut that the court can conclude as a matter of law that she was not.
Breedlove was a traveling five-state area sales manager for her employer. She had no particular work hours. Her workplace was not confined to any place. She used the company-leased car for both her employer’s business and for her own personal travel. She reimbursed the company for her personal use of the car. With respect to the business, she used it to call on customers, to drive them in it occasionally, to take materials to them, and to go to the company offices. She went to the zone office at her discretion and was on her way there to do paperwork and make calls at the time of the collision. She was performing no personal errand en route. She did not pay for any of the damage to the vehicle after the collision.
The activity in which Breedlove was engaged when the collision occurred was not personal. Whether it was within the scope of her employment, as it would be if she were traveling to a customer, is not foreclosed by the evidence any more than it was in Chappell v. Junior Achievement &c., 157 Ga. App. 41 (276 SE2d 98) (1981). Under the arrangements between her employer and Breedlove, she was on a solely business-related trip. There being evidence that the incident occurred while the employee Breedlove was engaged in pursuing the employer’s business, see Southern Grocery Stores v. Herring, 63 Ga. App. 267, 270 (11 SE2d 57) (1940), the question should be left to the jury. See also the dissent in Fred A. York, Inc. v. Moss, 176 Ga. App. *852350, 352 (335 SE2d 618) (1985).
The evidence and all inferences and conclusions arising therefrom must be construed most favorably toward plaintiff as the party opposing the motion for summary judgment. Moore v. Goldome Credit Corp., 187 Ga. App. 594, 596 (370 SE2d 843) (1988).
Judgment reversed.
