A car's handbrake failed causing it to roll down a hill into two others, blocking them in Penryn's Permarin car park this morning.

It was seen by Darren Holland, who managed to chock the wheels with two bricks and stop it moving any further.

He said: "When I went into work this morning just before nine I saw this vehicle. As I drove up I saw it was blocking the road. I thought 'that's a silly place to park', then I saw it nudge forward."

The Volvo estate slowly rolled into the parked cars before Darren managed to chock the wheels. Luckily it did not appear to cause any damage. He took a picture and posted it to the Penryn Town Council and Falmouth and Helston Police Facebook pages.

Within a few hours, the car had been picked up and moved.
