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.

(-23)Pilot encountered icing conditions that were not forecast, while he was cruising in VMC under a low overcast layer. Divered to nearest airport. Due to reduced forward visibility caused by ice on windscreen, the pilot landed long and ran off end of runway. Minor damage to aircraft. The decision to divert was delayed to the point the pilot was forced to land in marginal conditions.
