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.

11/19/2019 Student pilot states that there were 2 other aircraft in the flight pattern and came in on final and was to high and out to the right of runway 36. Lined the aircraft up with runway. He states there was 7.5 knots of crosswind and when he landed and got the wheels on the ground he had left rudder in and started to go off the runway. His instructor who witnessed the incident states that the student was to high and fast on final approach and the student landed halfway down the runway and got on the brakes. The CFI suspects that the student had primarily left rudder and left differential brake. The CFI states that the plane came up on the left main and nose gear and the right gear was not on the ground and the aircraft started skidding to the left the aircraft went off the runway and hit the taxiway light bravo and the aircraft came to rest about three quarters of the way down runway 36 in the grass. The student pilot told me that his flaps were not full down as instructed and decided to try to land the aircraft instead of doing a go around as instructed due to the other two aircraft that were in the pattern.
