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) It appears that after landing on runway 9L, the airmen failed to maintain directional control of the aircraft during the landing phase sequence; this caused the aircraft to depart the runway to the southeast about halfway down. The aircraft traveled about 80 feet after departing the runway during which it knocked down the taxiway "delta" sign. The aircraft continued moving southeast and after the propeller struck the ground, the airplane came to a stop adjacent to the intersection of taxiway "November" and delta" off the tarmac in the grass.
