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.

During takeoff roll from runway 32 the aircraft veered left, departed the runway, and crashed into two vehicles in a parking lot. Cockpit controls confirm witness statements stating the aircraft was under full power until it hit the cars. This was the student pilots second solo flight.
