We were traveling northbound in I-25 at las vegas, nm. A vehicle traveling the opposite had lost control, passed the median, and disabled at the right lane we were traveling. It was raining hard and I did not have the chance to avoid it. I had slammed my brakes, skidded and hit the disabled vehicle. The damage in my vehicle was more on the passenger side. Both front airbags did not deploy. At the towing company, they tried to start it and noticed airbag light camed on and flashing. It seems airbags activated after the impact but did not deploy.
