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 aircraft impacted rough terrain and vegetation after veering off the runway during landing rollout. The aircraft was substantially damaged. Neither the pilot/owner, nor two of the passengers were injured. The fourth passenger sustained a minor injury. The flight originated about 4 hours earlier at halle, Idaho about 0814 mountain daylight time. The pilot reported to NTSB investigator he was familiar with the airport. The pilot indicated the winds from the southwest, and variable in speed and direction, during his landing on runway 27. He indicated he increased his landing speed and "touched down a little faster then normal" to compensate for wind. On landing he heard a "metallic clank sound" then pulled up and the aircraft briefly became airborne.
