Engine and brake failure

Toyota Corolla 2003 Manual 46602 miles
Car situated on a downward slope stationary with engine running then when hand and foot brake were released the engine cut out and foot brake failed. This occurred on a private laneway and I was unable to prevent the car from running onto the main road which is very steep. I was able to reverse steer the car back into the laneway as it began to roll back and restart the engine but a scary experience. Any suggestions?

Happened once before about 6 years ago, also on road with a steep incline.
