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) Interviewed owner/pilot, privacy data omitted, who stated that he lowered the gear on the turn from downwind to base and noticed he did not have three green lights illuminated. He recycled the gear up and down on a short final but noticed the gear still did have the three lights illuminated. At this point, he said he was close to the ground. He also stated he chose not to go-around because he had concern the airplane would "torque-over" when full power was applied. Gear was partially extended but collapsed sometime during rollout.
