State-level carrom player Janhavi More was killed in a road accident in Dombivli on Sunday, days ahead of her participation in the national-level championship. More was crossing the road at a busy junction near her house, Lodha Heaven, when she was hit by a speeding truck and was declared dead at a nearby hospital minutes later.

Coached by her father since the age of five, the 20-year-old aimed to represent India in carrom. The champion's family has blamed congestion, poor traffic management, and dysfunctional traffic signals for her death.
