IMMEDIATLEY ON LANDING, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AS THE AIRCRAFT NOSE SETTLED ON TO THE RUNWAY.

THE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIMITED TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR, PROPELLER, ENGINE, AND ENGINE COWLING.  THE PILOT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES.  NO PASSENGERS WERE ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
