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.

After landing, while rolling down the runway at approximately 30-40 mph, the left main gear collapsed. Subsequent inspection at the repair shop, found the side brace bearing and bushing worn allowing movement of 2-4 degrees, allowing the left main to collapse.
