Who is responsible if a vehicle slides downhill in snowy weather and causes death?

Recently, heavy snow has begun to fall in most parts of the south. The roads are slippery in snowy weather, so you need to be more careful when driving. For many experienced drivers, they have already mastered the skills of driving in snowy weather, and generally nothing will happen. But there is a special situation, that is, you are not in the car, but the car slides and kills someone. Who should be held responsible? Is it considered a road traffic accident if a car parked in a parking lot slides and causes death?

According to the first paragraph of Article 119 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: "Roads refer to highways, urban roads and places under the jurisdiction of units where social motor vehicles are allowed to pass, including squares, public parking lots and other places for public passage."

A motor vehicle is a means of transportation. It is impossible for anyone to stay in a motor vehicle permanently. Therefore, the driver will switch back and forth between the roles of "third party" and "person on the vehicle". When the driver gets off the vehicle, his identity will automatically change to a third party, and the compulsory traffic insurance will apply to compensation for the third party. The part within the limits of compulsory traffic insurance and commercial third-party insurance will be compensated by the insurance company.
