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

There were visible tire marks on the runway from the excursion that began about approximately 1650 feet from the runway threshold. The intermittent tire skid marks continued for approximately 330 feet. The aircraft then slid off the left side of the runway into the grass down into a ditch, resulting in a collapse of the right main landing gear, the nose landing gear, and a prop strike.
