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) N290CA a IA-1124 aircraft was enroute to sugarland, Texas (sgr). An isolated thunderstorm had passed over minutes earlier. Sugarland tower had cleared the aircraft for landing on runway 35. The aircraft touched down on centerline approximately 300 feet beyond the threshold markings of the runway. The nose wheel was allowed to make contact with the ground and braking was used. Both thrust reversers were deployed and the aircraft remained on centerline. The aircraft began to slow and continued traveling down the centerline, until prior to taxiway C2, at which time it began drifting to the right due to hydroplaning. A correction was made to try to bring the aircraft back on centerline at which time it began drifting to the left. The aircraft exited the left side of the runway at approximately a 45-degree angle and then returned to the runway with the exception of the left main wheel. The left main wheel sank into the soft ground next to the runway edge and came to rest approximately 2100 feet from the end of the runway at an 80-degree angle.
