In an emotional interview with People last week, Brinkley cried as she recalled the "devastating" moments that ultimately resulted in the injury.
“The second I landed, I felt the shards in my arm,” Brinkley shared. “Like, I literally felt it in my wrist, and I just instantly looked up and said, ‘I’m so sorry, I broke my arm.'”
