From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: aircraft was being taxied for an after maintenance check by Mr. Felton (a non-pilot/non-mechanic) when the aircraft turned sharply breaking off the left hand wheel/axle assembly which resulted in the aircraft resting on the left hand wing tip and landing gear stub. The stub broke and the wing attach/door frame structure racked. No injury to the operator. Aircraft substantially damaged. Cause for loss of directional control could not be determined.
