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.

Student pilot and CFI were attempting to land. The CFI determined that they did not have enough runway left, he ordered a go around to the student. As the aircraft was climbing out, the CFI determined that they would not clear trees at the end of runway. The CFI took control and attempted to land the aircraft, causing the aircraft to depart off the end of the runway. The nose gear collapsed in the soft mud damaging the prop & the nose gear.
