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.

While flying south through the cajon pass the pilot hit severe turbulance which caused the aircraft to lose power. The pilot attempted to adjust the mixture and also the carb heat. This was not working so the decision was made to make an emergency landing on the west bound 210 freeway. The pilot made a hard landing which caused damage to the main landing gear, nose landing gear, propeller, engine and forward firewall area. To be amended in the future in needed.
