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.

Pilot tookoff on runway 16L at slc. Upon rotation pilot noticed a yawing to the right and he was unable to correct. He added rudder trim to counteract the yawing, unfortunately, he added the trim the wrong direction and compounded the problem. Pilot was pushing full left rudder down with no effective movement and the rudder was deflected to the right all the way to the floor. Pilot asked the first officer (fo) for assistance. The first officer stated that he looked at the rudder and the right pedal was pushed all the way to the floor. The fo stated that he pushed on the left rudder with no effect. The captain elected to land on the remaining runway. Upon landing the aircraft skidded off the left side of the runway momentarily then slid approximately 2200 ft back on the runway and spun around to with the nose coming to rest in nearly and easterly direction. The left main collapsed and the right turned perpendicular to the aircraft. Captain then shut down the engines and the pilots evacuated the aircraft. No injuries were reported.
