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.

The aircraft exited the runway to the left leaving a left main gear skid mark in trail. The aircraft continued for a distance of two hundred yards. During the continued forward motion, the aircraft right main landing gear contacted a drainage culvert which caused a landing gear separation from the airframe.
