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) On December 16, 2005 at approximately 1020 local, a Cessna P210N registration number N41805 impacted the ground approximately 200 feet short of the approach end of runway 30 on ksua airport property. The aircraft was found upright lying on the right wingtip with the right main, and nose landing gear collapsed. The debris field extended approximately 221 feet. The first ground scar (right wing tip) was noted to be approximately 221 feet from where the aircraft came to rest. The propeller struck the ground at approximately 90 feet from the beginning of the first observed ground scar (right wing tip). It was here (90 foot mark) that the propeller detached from the engine coming to rest near the empennage approximately 10 feet from the aircraft. Detachment of the propeller was due to the failure of the propeller retaining bolts at impact. Upon arrival, the airport manager privacy data omitted stated that the fuel selector valve and magnetos were re-positioned to off during the rescue. The battery was disconnected at this time as well. Original positions were as follows: right fuel tank selected and both for the magnetos. There was a post crash fire near the engine firewall.
