AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. At 4-way intersection w/ traffic light other driver going northbound blew through their red light (maybe on phone or other distraction) at what seemed like a high speed. I was driving westbound at about 30/35mph with a clear green light.

I was going 65 MPH, with my cruise control on, while it was raining. I hit some standing water, which caused me to hydroplane. I could not gain control of my vehicle, so I ended up spinning and hitting a concrete barrier.
