Two weeks later I received a court summons with the following charges: Reckless operation of MV, shifting marked lanes, and speeding. I know for a fact none of this is accurate because I wasn't speeding, I was following the posted speed limit 50mph. The State police was not present when the accident happened he was called to the scene. He is going off what some people are saying. They cant prove anything they said.

I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. i suggest referring the lawsuit to your insurance carrier so they can hire a lawyer to defend you. If you are correct about what happened, the lawyer for the insurance company will work with you to defend you in court to avoid paying a claim. If this goes to a trial, you will be able to come to court and tell your story and have your witnesses there to support your story. It will then be up to a jury to determine who they believe.
