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.

An envoy Embraer ERJ-145, registration N619AE performing flight AA-4125 from greensboro,NC to Chicago O'Hare,IL (usa) with 38 passengers and 3 crew, landed on O'Hare's runway 10L at 07:40L (13:40Z).

The tower had reported medium braking action and 4000 feet RVR, when the aircraft skidded left off the runway, further yawing to the left, and came to a stop with all gear as well as the right wing tip on soft ground about 5350 feet/1630 meters past the runway threshold.

The right main gear had collapsed causing substantial damage to the aircraft.

Following the occurrence ATC changed to tell arriving aircraft that braking action was poor.

The aircraft had gone around on short final to runway 10L about 25 minutes earlier after being instructed by tower to go around for unknown reasons.
