Two cars plowed into a Home Depot store in the north Chicago suburb of Niles Monday afternoon.

The crash happened at the Home Depot on Civic Center Drive, near the southeast corner of Oakton Street and Waukegan Road.

Niles police said an elderly driver leaving a car wash accelerated and went over the curb. The driver hit three cars before continuing down a parking aisle, hitting another car, and then hitting a protective cage full of propane tanks, police said.

Another car involved hit the Home Depot building itself.

The initial driver who lost control and another driver were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Due to the involvement of the propane cylinders, hazardous materials crews were called and the Home Depot building was evacuated. All nonessential personnel were directed to the parking lot.

But police said there was no fire, and none of the propane tanks leaked.

The village building inspector came to the scene and found there was no structural damage to the Home Depot building, police said.

The two cars that hit the building were towed.
