Several spin-outs and other traffic problems were reported early Wednesday, including a FedEx truck crash in Pasadena that blocked lanes on the eastbound 210 Freeway.
Four lanes were blocked on the 210 Freeway east near Sierra Madre Boulevard because of the overturned truck. Delivery boxes were scattered on the road during a rainy morning drive after a storm system moved down the coast and arrived in Southern California early Wednesday.
The storm is expected to bring rain throughout the morning before showers taper off during the afternoon.
