Overnight rain made for a slick morning commute, causing a FedEx truck to overturn on the 210.

A big rig crashed today on the eastbound 210 Freeway in Pasadena, blocking three lanes but resulting in no injuries, authorities said Wednesday morning.

The accident was reported about 4:30 a.m. at Sierra Madre Villa Ave.,
said California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos.

The FedEx truck was hauling two trailers, and the second trailer overturned, Villalobos said. Both trailers were empty.
