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.

Aircraft N332JM was on final approach to rwy. 27 at W88 in gusty left quartering crosswind conditions. At approximately 30' AGL and below a large stand of oak on the upwind side of the rwy and across the street the aircraft's left wing dropped and the aircraft veered to the left. The left wing of N332JM struck the right wing leading edge of N22PH a parked and secured Beech BE-24R, the left main gear of N332JM struck the upper windshield and crown of 22PH and in determinant parts of N332JM struck the vertical tail leading edge fairing and top of the cabin of N22PH. This contact induced a left spinning motion to N332JM which came to rest behind N22PH facing approximately 045 deg.
