Our van's battery ran out, so my dad tried to transfer electricity with his other car. But, the van started rolling down, out of our garage and into the streets. Luckily, there's room for cars to pass through.

 

But so far, my dad tried to do something, and it's not working at all! Please help quickly!

Few options available to you:

-Push the van back into your driveway and put the brakes on before attempting to jump start the battery again.

-Call a towing to get the car to a garage if your dad doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

-Get a new battery and install it ? (Though if he doesn't know what he's doing, that won't help)

-If he's a member of CAA/AAA he can call them over for help.

just use jumper cables? you mentioned he tried 'transferring' it with the other car, did he have the wires crossed over or something? jumper cables usually just work.

Didn't work.

 

 

But thanks guys for the suggestions. My dad just had to replace the battery with a new one since it was really old, which he's doing rn.
