A wall at a Morton Salt storage facility has collapsed, burying several cars at a next door auto dealership in road salt.
Company spokeswoman Denise Lauer says a side wall broke Tuesday afternoon on Chicagos northwest side, spilling road salt outside the facility and onto the neighboring property. Morton Salt Inc. is a 100-year-old company based in Chicago best known for its pourable table salt. No injuries were reported. Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford says the collapse happened around 2 p.m. He says several cars are buried in salt.
