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.

During taxi-in after landing, the wing leading edge extension of N173AR struck the trailing edge of the rudder of another, stationary aircraft, N75LB. The event took place at the junction of a controlled taxi way and an uncontrolled aircraft movement surface.
