"I would love to talk to you about infrastructure reform, highway safety, and my concerns with the federal highway administration of the United States," Eimers says in the video.

"Your concerns about guardrail spearing are legitimate," he added. "My daughter Hannah was fatally impaled by a defective Lindsay X-Lite guardrail end in Tennessee."

The Post notes that Eimers has sued Lindsay, the corporation that manufactured the guardrail involved in the fatal crash.

“I am shooting for the moon,” Eimers told the Palm Beach Post. “I’m counting on him being at Mar-a-Lago. It’s worth the shot for me.”

Lindsay defended the guardrail involved in Eimers's crash in a statement to the Post.

“While X-LITE has successfully passed crash and safety tests in accordance with Federal standards, there is no road safety equipment that can prevent injury every time a driver fails to stay on the road,” the company said. “Lindsay continues to work collaboratively with road safety stakeholders on national initiatives to enhance safety on America’s roadways.”
