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.

During the landing roll he felt shaking, followed wiht lack of control. The nose landing gear collapsed and the aircraft nosed down scraping the runway damaging the area below the forward baggage compartment, curled both propellers, and shaved the forward section of the nose landing gear doors.
