Car handbrake snapped cable locked the rear wheel

On Saturday morning, I was supposed to drive to the office for server installation.

The morning I got into my car in my garage and found that the handbrake handle was down which I normally leave pulled up whenever I park the car.

It turned out that I could not pull the handle much up and trying to reverse the car out did not work either. After further investigation, it turned out that the left hanbrake cable had snapped and the mechanism at the left rear wheel broke. Somehow the result of this locked the wheel. On the upside, nobody will steal the car except by towing it. The trouble is to get a mechanic to come.

The car is a Mazda 323 hatchback from 1998
