<br>A 21-year-old man has died in Lincoln, Neb., after being hit in the head by a golf club in a vandalism incident gone awry, Lincoln police officials have announced.
<br>
<br>Brian J. Brinker died at Bryan-LGH East Medical Center about 12 hours after the incident, in which he was struck when a 23-year-old companion of his swung a club that broke.
<br>
<br>The companion, whom police didn�t name, was sitting in the front seat of a vehicle and was whacking mailboxes with a golf club as they drove by. Upon striking one mailbox, the club broke and the clubhead flew back into the vehicle, striking Brinker in the head.
<br>
<br>Brinker, who was sitting in the back seat, suffered a puncture wound and was unresponsive, officials said. He died after emergency surgery was unsuccessful, they said.
<br>
<br>The 23-year-old was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault. The Lancaster County Attorney's Office was expected to review the case.

<br>Hard to say which mailbox broke the club, I'd like to think it was mine.
