Weigel, 393 So.2d 871 (La.App. 4th Cir.1981), would similarly lead to the conclusion of absence of coverage in the present case, as the test would require that the chain of events resulting in the alleged accident originate in the use of the automobile and thereafter be unbroken by the intervention of any event which has no direct or substantial relation to the use of the vehicle, and also that the accident must be associated with the use of the vehicle as contemplated by the contracting parties.
