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.

At approximately 1120 EST 01/24/2010 pilot landed long and fast and was unable to stop or avoid a snow berm at the end of runway 30. Striking the snow berm resulted in a collapsed nose landing (NLG). As the aircraft left the tarmac the propeller and nose struck the grass overrun and came to a stop 8 -10 feet beyond the end of the runway.
