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.

Landing was called in and enacted, however ended in a right-hand ground loop that had the left-hand wing scrapping the ground. The aircraft turned hard enough to land on the nose creating a sudden stoppage on the engine. Prop was totalled. No injuries.
