FR-S VERSUS SEMI TRUCK!

Hey guys,
Got into an accident recently and wanted people’s opinions on a couple things...
I’ll start off with a little bit of background, first!
On Tuesday of this week I was on my way to work, it was about 6:30 in the morning. I’m on a 5 lane road, starting from the far left there are 2 left turn lanes, two forward lanes, and one right-hand turn lane divided by a solid white line. As I was making my way in the right-turn lane I pass a semi-truck in the lane left of me with his signal on. Didn’t really pay attention to it, it was a green light and he was moving at a considerable pace so I thought maybe he accidentally left it on.
At the same time I made the right turn, the semi truck had turned right from the forward lane into the far right lane of the street I was turning onto (i.e: my lane). I managed to stop before I hit him, and like 1.5 seconds after coming to a dead stop the truck continues to speed up into my lane, tracking his trailer right into my car.
FYI, the street we were turning on to was a two-lane road, and the semi truck WAS NOT STRADDLING MY LANE. Truck was inside both lines of his lane.

TL;DR: big truck too long squish my car!! my lane!! eee

I am crossing my fingers on having it totalled, you could probably understand why judging by the pictures. Opinions?
