Answer

Can a car roll down an embankment while parking in Sant Elm?

Yes, a car can roll if it is parked or manoeuvred unsafely on a steep slope, especially if the handbrake is not secure or the vehicle is not properly positioned. In Sant Elm, where some roads and parking edges are exposed, that kind of mistake can have serious consequences. Police would normally check whether it was driver error, a technical problem, or another cause.
