A Burmese man riding his bicycle was killed by a driver who hit him and ran on the second day of their new year water festival called Thingyan in Yangon, Myanmar April 14, 2014. Many take to the roads after drinking all day during the festival time causing a high death toll. Water-throwing is the distinguishing feature of this important festival during the first four days. Thingyan is similar to other new year festivities seen in Southeast Asian countries such as Laos, Cambodia and Songkran in Thailand. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)
