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.

During the takeoff roll the PIC reported that the aircraft initiated a hard turn to the left. The PIC was able to keep the aircraft from ground looping but did leave the runway and ended up in the grassy area beside the runway. During the turn the right lower wing tip and outboard aileron scraped the runway and the lower left wing leading edge scraped a runway light. There were no injuries to the passengers or PIC. The aircraft sustained minor damage.
