Fortunately, no one was hurt. The driver of that truck was able to escape serious injury and walk away.

A home security camera captured the blast heard around the neighborhood.

Investigators suspect that a propane tank being transported in the box truck was leaking prior to its explosion on Wood Dale Road, just north of Lake Street.

Authorities report that the truck is owned by rental company Penske, which enforces a stringent policy in their rental agreement that prohibits the transport of anything flammable, explosive, or hazardous.

A spokesperson confirmed to ABC7 that a customer was renting the truck to move household and personal items.

There was surprisedly little fire, but the force of the blast damaged several nearby homes, including Rock Foreman’s house.

The truck company is cooperating fully with the investigation.

The police are calling the explosion accidentally as the cleanup continues.
