Totaled again

Well as some of you might know, my truck got totaled because I got rear ended by a semi about 2 months ago.
WELL, I got a nice settlement, bought the truck back, spent the past month fixing it and dumping 2500 into it. Got it back up to 110% besides not having the money left over for another fiberglass rear fender
So on Wednesday, I got 2 used tires to put in the back because my others were bald and 45 minutes later, I was traveling through an intersection with a BMW 745 right next to me. In my peripherals, I see a gold car come flyin outta nowhere, she straight up runs a completely red light, hits the BMW, BMW hits me then I slid into a city vehicle... My truck is now totaled again... I am at a loss for words and money, and I'm feelin terrible.
here's the truck in the intersection with the lil pileup goin on

Geezzz, -what are the chances of that happening ?? Yea, I seen the other thread. Well, at-least it wasn't completely restored yet and things could went much worse.

Sucks tho, that's for sure.

I feel bad for you to. It also happened to me every time I built up an old rig. One I only got 38 miles on and a drunk ran a stoplight and totaled er. I was lucky and only shook up. The right rear side took a loot of wack. Better luck in the future.

That sucks man, some people don't even realize how retarded they are haha.
As an update, I got nothing near what my truck was worth and all I could afford was a Ranger. I bought a 1991 ranger 4x4 that's got a bunch of stuff on it. I'm already sick of it though, I miss my 5.4 and actually having wiggle room inside the cab. I'm gonna start looking for worthy f150's again.
