OAK LAWN, Ill. (CBS) -- A car plowed into a Dollar Tree store in Oak Lawn Monday evening.

As CBS 2's Kris Habermehl reported, the car jumped across the sidewalk and smashed into a side door of the Dollar Tree at 10550 S. Cicero Ave.

The store has one door that faces the parking lot, and another that faces the street.
