A large police presence and a rectangle of crime scene tape were seen in front of the Cosmo Beauty shop at the shopping center.
The workers became stuck in an external elevator about 150 feet up a 200-foot high dry cement storage silo on the 2100 block of East 130th Street.
The crash occurred late Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of 86th and Carpenter streets – in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood.
Deputy Fire Commissioner Marc Ferman said one of the people who was injured was across the street at the time.
A Chicago Police squad car was seen wrecked against a building.
The car that was struck sustained heavy damage, and at least one person was injured.
Neighbors questioned what exactly was fueling the dark plumes.
The fire proved to be stubborn, going on burning as hose streams doused it.
An unmarked police car was also rammed by a semi-trailer truck at the scene.
