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

Good lord. Sounds like you got my luck! I'm sorry for your troubles, and hopefully you figure out what to do with it!

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.
