Nearly 200 people were on the golf course when plane crashed

Haggin Oaks Golf Course Vice President of Retail and Marketing Ken Morton Jr. told USA TODAY there were roughly 200 people out on the golf course at the time the plane crashed.

As of Monday, a monetary damage estimate to the pro shop was not yet known, Morton said.

"We haven't yet been able to get into the building and take a look at what the putting green rebuild will look like due to the plane needing to be refueled," he said.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash, Breitenfeldt said.
