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 take off from ranch Tehama, CA airport, the pilot experienced a partial loss of engine power. As he was still over the runway, he elected to land, however, during the landing roll the aircraft went off the end of the departure runway (09) and into the overrun area. As it entered the overrun area, the airplane's left main landing gear collided with a portion of fencing. The impact force separated the left main landing gear from the aircraft and subsequent inertia caused the air craft to spin 180 degrees to the left . The left wing struck the ground where aircraft came to a halt.
