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.

Pilot stated he landed normally at about 80 mph and was rolling out when he thought he had a flat tire. Aircraft veered to the right and started skidding. Aircraft left the runway nearly 180 degrees in the other direction and crossed a drainage ditch, the impact which caused the left main gear to collapse and bent the mounts for the nose gear (attaches to engine mount).
