Answer 1

No. Fight it. The best that can happen is no witnesses show up in court and you win. The worst that can happen is they find you guilty and you pay the tickets anyway. Couldn't hurt.

Answer 2

if the light was red when you crossed into the intersection you are at fault. you say you were 15 ft away and it was yellow (that tells us nothing and makes me think youre leaving stuff out dont use this in court) if the impact was made to the front of your car thats not good for you either if its on the side you may have an arguement. the 2 trucks had the right of way. you shouldnt have reported this.

Answer 3

If he was halfway through his turn and you were hit in the front it sounds like he may have had control of the intersection. If this is the case then yes it could be considered your fault. But you don't say what part of his truck was involved in the impact? Hard to say who had control without more info. If he had control then you could have been cited for failure to yield the right of way.

I am guessing one of your tickets may be for leaving the scene of an accident.

Ask for a hearing in traffic court. The police officer was not a witness and cannot know if you violated any traffic laws.
