WATCH: Terrifying Moment a Truck Explodes in Chicago’s Residential Neighborhood, Damages Multiple Homes

A devastating explosion involving a commercial truck occurred Saturday morning in Addison, a community located in Chicago’s western suburbs, leaving the operator injured and causing significant property damage to surrounding residences.

The incident took place at approximately 8:45 a.m. when a Penske rental truck detonated on Wood Dale Road. Authorities suspect a malfunctioning propane tank triggered the blast while the vehicle was transporting household items including clothing and furniture.

Dramatic footage of the explosion was recorded by a residential security camera, capturing the moment of impact. The blast’s force sent debris flying into nearby properties, with one residence requiring immediate evacuation due to structural damage after fragments struck a critical support beam.

Multiple homes and vehicles in the area sustained damage from the explosion, with broken windows and shattered car windshields reported throughout the neighborhood.

Law enforcement officers responded swiftly to the scene, implementing a 24-hour road closure to conduct their investigation and remove debris, according to statements from the Addison Police Department.

The DuPage County Bomb Squad participated in the initial response but concluded their assessment found no indicators suggesting the explosion was intentionally caused or suspicious in nature.
