A truck exploded in a suburban Chicago neighborhood over the holiday weekend, injuring the driver and damaging several homes. The explosion, caused by a leaking propane tank in a rented Penske box truck, resulted in a large debris field and prompted a response from local fire and police departments. Fortunately, only the driver sustained minor injuries, while one home was evacuated due to structural concerns; Penske stated they would cooperate with the investigation, emphasizing that hazardous materials are prohibited in their rental vehicles.
