Authorities later said the $3,000 bill sent to Stephen Eimers' daughter was a "mistake somewhere in processing," according to The Tennessean

What upset the Eimers the most was that during the Nov. 1 impact, Hannah suffered the fatal injuries when the guardrail passed through the side door and failed to stop the car.
