A wall at a Morton Salt storage facility collapsed this week, burying a number of cars at an auto-dealership next-door in road salt.
No injuries have been reported at this time, according to the Associated Press. Cars affected by the incident were from an Acura dealership.
At least 11 cars next door at a McGrath Acura dealership lot were buried, according to WGNTV.com. Around seven to eight of the vehicles belong to customers and four of five were to be sold by the dealership.
Spokeswoman Denise Lauer confirmed that a side wall broke Tuesday afternoon, spilling road salt outside of the facility in northwest Chicago's and onto the auto-dealership.
Morton Salt, whose slogan is "When It Rains It Pours," is a 100-year-old company based out of Chicago that makes table and specialty salts, ice melters and water softening products, according to the company's official website.
"We are working with local authorities to review and respond to the situation," Morton Salt said in a statement to NBC Chicago.
The building has not been inspected by the city since March of 2014, and a refrigeration inspection was last completed on Nov. 2, 2012. It also has an outstanding violation for failure to maintain the roof in sound condition.
Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said that the incident took place around 2 p.m. on Tuesday. He confirmed several cars are buried in salt, and that city engineers are going to look at the building's structural integrity.
Fire officials added that workers at the facility piled the sale higher than they were supposed to, which likely resulted in the pressure that caused the south wall to give in, according to Department of Buildings inspection.
Chicago police spokesman Thomas Sweeney said that officers responded to calls about the collapse, but didn't provide any further information to the AP.
