A public transport van crashed after its driver choked on a “boli”, a type of bagged ice cream. The accident took place on the Chumayel-Teabo road, towards the municipality of Teabo, in Yucatán.
The accident resulted in the death of three people who were traveling aboard the van. According to local media reports, the driver, while trying to eat a pen while driving, lost control of the unit. This caused the van to leave the road and hit several trees, overturning and causing multiple injuries.

What is a pen?
The bolis, also known as hielitos, bambinos or frozen, are a type of ice cream in a bag that is made from fresh fruits or mixtures with milk and flavorings.
This type of ice cream is prepared and consumed in many regions of Latin America, especially during hot weather, although in some places it is sold throughout the year.
Fruit pens use natural water and sometimes include pieces of fruit, while the creamiest ones have a milk or yogurt base.
