Humm how close was this street to an airport.

The Cessna 172 had
successfully landed on Claremont Street in the Shanghai Bend area, but
crashed and burned while attempting to take off,

Also found this...
"The small aircraft went down in an open field next to a row of
partially-built
homes near the western end of Shanghai Bend Road shortly before 11 a.m.,
said
Sgt. Harwood Mitchell of the Yuba City Police Department."

Y'don't suppose some lost pilot thought a nice empty strip of road mostly
outside town was...a runway? Oy.
