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)After doing four touch and go landings and while making her last landing with a left crosswind on runway 17 at the Kingman, Arizona municipal airport, the plane veered to the left and off the runway. While the pilot was trying to stop the aircraft, the nose gear and both main landing gears collapsed as the aircraft came to rest against an embankment. The propeller and nose gear were damaged. The pilot/owner of the aircraft was the sole occupant at the time of mishap. The pilot has volunteered to seek additional training on cross wind landings.
