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) During the takeoff roll on rwy 25 at the Nevada co airport, the pilot of the swift N78053 lost directional control of the a/c which caused it to veer to the left, then back to the right toward the runway. At that time the landing gear collapsed and the airplane came to a stop between the runway and the taxiway. The wind was light and variable. The airplane sustained substantial damage and there was no injuries to both occupants.
