The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

On final for runway 28R a plane crossed the runway, and was told to increase their rate of speed to stay clear of landing traffic privacy data omitted. PIC stated this did distract him and now believes he should have done a go around.
During the landing the aircraft bounced and a go around was performed. The aircraft descended and touched down in the grass off the left side of runway 28R. The PIC continued with the go around striking a runway light with the stabilator prior to takeoff. The aircraft took off, flew once around the pattern and landed without further incident. No injuries and damage was later determined to be substantial. Damage to the aircraft included a dent on the left side of the stabilator in the leading edge damaging the spar and buckling in the skin on the right side of the empennage just forward of the stabilator attach point.
