Oh, please. “Unimpaired by illicit drugs” means she was “lit up” on drugs.

Anne Heche could have used those drugs within a day or two and didn't get any sleep. The aftereffects of taking drugs and getting no sleep will impair the person. She was driving recklessly right before she plowed into a house, so it is obvious that she wasn't in the right mind.
