Daily Mail reported that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's son, Pax Jolie-Pitt, was hospitalized after suffering a head injury in an electric bike crash in Los Angeles.
Pax was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, which resulted in head and hip pain.
Pax Jolie-Pitt, 20, was riding his electric bike in Los Angeles when he collided with the back of a car that had stopped at a red light. The crash occurred on Los Feliz Boulevard around 5 p.m. during rush hour. Witnesses reported that Pax was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Police and paramedics arrived promptly at the scene and decided to rush Pax to the hospital due to concerns about head pain. Eyewitnesses stated that Pax also complained of hip pain and appeared to have sustained a head injury. Paramedics were particularly worried about the possibility of a brain bleed.
The electric bike involved in the crash was a Talaria Sting R MX4, though it remains unclear if it was the same one Pax had been seen riding in recent months. Pax was later reported to be in stable condition, and it was suggested that he might have been able to go home the same night. California state laws mandate helmets for bike and motorcycle riders under 18, but it is uncertain if Pax was legally required to wear one.
Pax and several of his siblings have been estranged from their father, Brad Pitt. This estrangement stems from a 2016 incident on a private jet where Angelina Jolie accused Pitt of physical assault while intoxicated.
Pax was adopted by Jolie in Vietnam in 2007, and Jolie and Pitt share five other children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.
In recent months, Pax has been frequently seen riding his electric bike around Los Angeles. Just two days after the crash, Pax and his mother were spotted at a restaurant in West Hollywood, indicating his recovery was progressing. The Jolie-Pitt family has been in the public eye since Jolie and Pitt began dating in 2005. They eventually married in 2014 before their highly publicized divorce in 2016.
Jolie and Pitt's divorce and custody battle has been lengthy and contentious. Pax and his older brother Maddox have particularly distanced themselves from Pitt since the 2016 incident. Several of the Jolie-Pitt children, including Vivienne and Shiloh, have taken steps to remove Pitt's last name.
An FBI report from the 2016 incident detailed allegations of physical assault and verbal abuse by Pitt. A source close to Pitt has claimed he never hit any of the children but admitted to drinking. Pitt has required supervision by caretakers and therapists during visitations with his children due to the fallout.
Pitt has expressed a desire to mend his relationship with his children, which he claims was damaged by the divorce. Despite the ongoing legal battles, Jolie continues to maintain a close relationship with her children, often being seen with them in public. Pax's recent hospitalization has brought attention back to the Jolie-Pitt family dynamics.
Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016, and they were declared legally single in 2019. The couple's divorce proceedings have been marked by numerous legal disputes and custody issues. The public continues to watch closely as the family navigates these challenges.
Pax Jolie-Pitt's recent electric bike crash and subsequent hospitalization have highlighted ongoing concerns regarding safety and family dynamics. Despite not wearing a helmet, Pax is in stable condition and recuperating. The Jolie-Pitt family remains under public scrutiny as they continue to manage complex relationships and legal battles. Pax's recovery and the family's resilience are a testament to their strength amidst adversity. The incident underscores the importance of safety precautions, such as wearing helmets, to prevent serious injuries.
