Physiological Impact of High BAC At a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) between \(0.13\%\) and \(0.29\%\), a driver is in a state of severe intoxication ranging from significant motor impairment to near-stupor. 

BAC 0.13% – 0.15%: Drivers experience blurred vision, a major loss of balance, and significantly delayed reaction times.

BAC 0.16% – 0.20%: Often described as "sloppy drunk," movements become uncoordinated and dizzying. The ability to judge speed and distance is almost entirely lost.

BAC 0.21% – 0.29%: This level borders on a blackout state. Motor skills are so severely impaired that the driver may struggle to sit upright, let alone operate vehicle controls with precision. 

The Physics of the Incident In the scenario described, the vehicle traveled 53 feet at 24 mph. The physical breakdown of this event is as follows: Speed in Feet per Second: \(35.2\text{\ ft/s}\)Total Elapsed Time: Approximately 1.5 seconds For a driver at this level of intoxication, a 1.5-second window is often shorter than their actual reaction time. 

Why Control Was Lost So Quickly Reaction Time Deficit: A sober driver typically reacts in 0.7 to 1.5 seconds. At a BAC of \(0.13\%–0.29\%\), reaction times can double or triple. The entire 53-foot travel occurred faster than the driver's brain could even register the need to steer or brake.

Sensory Lag: At \(24\text{\ mph}\) in reverse, the visual field changes rapidly. The "sloppy" motor control associated with high BAC means any attempt to correct the steering would likely result in a violent over-correction, causing the vehicle to veer sharply off-course.

Blackout/Stupor: At the higher end of that range (\(0.29\%\)), the driver may have experienced a momentary lapse in consciousness or a "micro-sleep," leaving the vehicle unguided for the duration of the 53 feet.
