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 final approach to runway 5, at approximately 60 knots, a "slight" gust of wind lifted the right wing causing the aircraft to drift to the left. The aircraft came down hard on the nose wheel and the prop struck the ground resulting in major structural damage to the aircraft.
