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 08/09/2013 pilot was spraying some soybeans and finished first load and was returning to land. Pilot stated that he made a main wheel landing but when he applied the brakes there was no right brake. The plane exited the runway at a slight left angle and contacted a barbed wire fence. The plane went through the fence the right main gear contacted a brace post which caused the right gear attachement bolts to shear. There was skin damage to both wings from fence poles.
