CHICAGO (WLS) -- The pile of salt at the Morton Salt plant has been cleaned up and the cars that were stuck under it have been removed.

The wall of the building partially collapsed last week because investigators say the salt was piled too high.

Eleven cars from the Acura dealer next door became trapped under the salt pile.

Crews will soon begin repairs to the plant's wall.
