Parents claim 500 thousand euros for the death of son in goalpost fall in Leiria

Diário de Leiria9 September 2026 at 14:45

The parents of a 15-year-old student are demanding compensation of 500 thousand euros for the death of their son, who died after a goalpost fell at the Colégio Conciliar de Maria Imaculada, in Leiria. The accident occurred in 2021.

The case is being tried at the Judicial Court of Leiria, where the parents are presenting their action against the school. The educational institution is indicated as responsible for the damages resulting from the fatal accident.

The fall of the goalpost caused the death of the young 15-year-old student, who was attending the educational establishment at the time of the incident. The school is managed by the Congregation of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady.

Man lost all driving licence points 5 years ago but continued working as a truck driver: authorities discovered it this way

A 52-year-old truck driver was intercepted by the Guardia Civil in Gran Canaria driving a heavy articulated vehicle, despite his driving licence having expired five years ago due to total point depletion. Analysis of the tachograph revealed that the man had been driving repeatedly in the two previous months. The proceedings were referred to the Juzgado de Guardia de Las Palmas, where the driver's possible criminal liability will be determined, as he may face three to six months in prison, a fine, or community service. The article also compares the legal framework in Portugal, where driving with a licence cancelled due to point loss generates conflicting jurisprudence between the crime of driving without legal qualification and a minor offence, an issue awaiting resolution by the Supreme Court of Justice.
