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) PIC reported that he was landing on runway 20 with a small crosswind, approx. 5-8 knots. He stated that after touchdown the aircraft (CE-180K, N2801K) touched down on the right wheel and right wing went low. The PIC applied full power in an effort to correct this situation, however the aircraft swerved to the left, dragging the right wing on the ground. The right wing and aileron contacted the runway surface, resulting in a groundloop situation and causing substantial damage to the right wing and aileron. The PIC stated that he had a loss of control situation that resulted in this groundloop.
