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 June 17, 2018 at approximately 0945 central daylight time, a Cessna T210F landed in a field due to loss of power. The plane touched down in a sandy field which caused the right main gear and nose wheel to separate from the fuselage. The aircraft slid for approximately 50 feet before the nose of the plane dug into the sand and flipped the aircraft onto its back.
