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 student pilot was doing solo takeoff and landing practice when he lost control of the airplane during a landing. On his fourth or fifth touch and go landing he lost directional control, went off the left side of the runway, collapsing the nose gear and bending the propeller. The wind was about 50 degrees left of the nose at 14 knots, or a crosswind component of about 11 knots. Incident privacy data omitted is considered closed with this report.
