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.

Attempted to land while a short field takeoff competetion was taking place. Organizers had incoming traffic utilize the opposite end of the runway. This caused a downwind approach in which after touchdown caused the aircraft to slide to the left striking the wing and folding the left main gear.
