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)The pilot stated that he was landing at a private strip in fairfield, NC during his agricultural spraying operations. During landing, the pilot noticed some sand on the runway, but thought he could avoid it. However, during the landing roll the aircraft prop struck the sand. This caused damage to the propeller, the spray boom, and the drop nozzles. The pilot stated that there was a small leak from the drop nozzles, so the aircraft was unloaded of all chemicals. There was no biohazard area.
