Severed Body Parts Lead To 2 Arrests | Woman Dies After Tree Falls On Camper | NASCAR Returns: IL Weekend

During a weekend with storms and an "incredible" amount of rainfall, severe weather led to a woman's death when a tree fell on a camper trailer.

Heavy rainfall also led to the cancellation or postponement of numerous fireworks displays over the July 4 weekend and prompted officials to restrict boating and close numerous trails due to dangerously high water levels.

Meanwhile, the gruesome discovery of a partial severed arm in a central Illinois lake led police to find additional body parts—and arrest two people who are reportedly close to the victim.

Plus, NASCAR returned to the Chicagoland Speedway for the holiday weekend after a seven-year absence.
