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.

Pilatus was on final approach when the pilot observed another aircraft take runway for take off. N62GA Pilatus pilot decided to "land short" and "stop quickly" which caused left main tire to blow out. This caused the aircraft to depart the runway to the left side without further damage.
