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.

On January 22, 2013 at approximately 1500 CDT PIC attempted a takeoff from the Fairmont State Airfield (fmz) in a Cessna 150, N3593L. During the attempted takeoff the nose gear collapsed on the runway causing the propeller to strike the ground. The aircraft came to rest on the north east end of the runway near the grass. The aircraft propeller, lower cowling, right wing tip fairing, nose gear, and engine mount were damaged. The nose gear collapse did not appear to be a result of a mechanical failure. It appears that the pilot lost control of the aircraft during takeoff.
