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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Several attemps to restart failed. Landed approimately 300-500 feet short of rwy 27. Pilot executed a right turn just prior to touch down to avoid vehicle traffic on a busy street.

Engaging the barb wire and the impact severed the wing just outboard of the landing gear. No injuries. Witnesses reported that the propeller was observed not turning prior to impact.
