ON JULY 8, 2021 AT 12:22PM CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME, A PIPER PA-32R-301 AIRPLANE, N4174A, HAD MINOR DAMAGE WHEN THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING AT (KHON) HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
