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.

The pilot was landing runway 12, the approach was stable. The pilot performed a 3 point landing and bounced upon touchdown. The aircraft then swerved to the left, the pilot applied full right rudder with no effect and some right brake, to try to correct the left turning, with no effect. The pilot then added full power to attempt to abort the take-off. The aircraft was going to slow to climb into the air again. The aircraft came to rest heading 300. The right landing gear had collapsed and the right wing and spar were damaged.
