In my opinion, it does look like you are going to be at fault. If anything, the dash-cam footage in this case works against you. I could still see the truck before you cleared the bend on the footage, so i imagine even easier in person and even after you got closer past the bend you still had sufficient time to clear the truck.
If you lawyer up.. you MAY be able to get off on technicalities such as, the truck not having his hazards etc.etc.. unlikely but possibly.... OR a more plausible outcome is maybe not be completely at fault.
In terms of if the car is a total loss.... iunno, those rear quarter panels took some serious damage.
