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) privacy data omitted privacy data omitted aircraft landed on a short strip, 1200 feet. Half way down the runway pilot realized that he would over run the end of the runway and he locked up the brakes. Closing on the end of the runway and still at too high a rate of speed, pilot turned the aircraft to the right, skidding off the right side of the runway with the brakes locked, the aircraft skidded to a stop just off the runway in soft dirt and sand facing approx. 150 degrees from the runway heading. The left main gear collapsed just as the aircraft stopped. There seems to be no further damage to the aircraft.
