What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The aircraft had landed on runway 27 and was rolling out when the pilot mistakenly grabbed gear handle instead of flap handle. The aircraft came to a stop about 2,000 feet down the runway and appears to have minor damage. Front nose gear collapsed allowing the hartzl propellor to strike the runway surface bending all three blades back. Nose gear doors appear to have minor damage. Both pilot and passenger walked away from aircraft unharmed.
