WATCH: Terrifying Moment a Truck Explodes in Residential Neighborhood

One house in the Chicago suburb was evacuated over structural concerns after flying debris hit a load-bearing wall.

A truck exploded in a residential neighborhood in the western suburbs of Chicago, damaging nearby houses and injuring the driver. A leaking propane tank is believed to have caused the Penske box truck, which was carrying clothes and furniture, to explode around 8:45 a.m. Saturday in Addison. The explosion was captured by a doorbell camera on a nearby home. One house in the vicinity was evacuated over structural concerns after the flying debris from the explosion hit a load-bearing wall. Other houses and cars were also damaged in the incident, with windows and windshields shattered by the explosion. Police rushed to the scene in Wood Dale Road and closed down the road for 24 hours to investigate the incident and clear debris, the Addison Police Department said. The DuPage County Bomb Squad was initially involved in the investigation but said there was no evidence that the explosion was suspicious.
