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.
While taxiing to runway 27, N68EC, a Cessna 414A, drifted off to the left of taxiway b at Washington County Airport (kafj). In the process, the aircraft's left propeller stuck a taxiway light causing damage to the propeller. The aircraft then had to be dug out and towed to the ramp area.
