CHICAGO – A wall at a Morton Salt storage facility has collapsed, burying several cars at a next door auto dealership in the grainy white stuff.
Company spokeswoman Denise Lauer says a side wall broke Tuesday afternoon on Chicago’s northwest side, spilling road salt outside the facility and onto neighbouring property. Morton Salt Inc. is a 100-year-old company based in Chicago best known for its pourable table salt.
