Pax Jolie-Pitt, the 20-year-old son of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was hospitalized Monday following an accident while riding an electric bike in Los Feliz Blvd in LA during rush hour at around 5pm, as reported by NBC News.
According to a source who spoke to the news outlet, Jolie is by her son’s side and he’s in “stable condition.”
As per TMZ, Pax suffered a head injury after his electric bike was involved in a crash with a car.
According to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ, Pax’s electric bike collided with the rear of the car at an intersection. After the accident, the driver got out of the car to make sure Pax was fine and waited with him until the ambulance arrived.
“A vehicle was waiting at a red light, and an individual on an electric bike rear-ended the vehicle. There is no evidence of a crime and we ended up taking a severe traffic report,” Los Angeles Police Department Officer David Cuellar told NBC News on Tuesday.
Last year, Pax, whom Jolie adopted from Vietnam and is the second oldest child of the ex-couple, made headlines for criticizing his dad in a resurfaced 2020 social media message in which he referred to him as to an ‘awful human being.’
“You time and time again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person,” Pax wrote in the post unearthed by MailOnline. “You have no consideration or empathy towards your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so.” Pax concluded the post: “You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want but the truth will come to light someday.”
Those close to Pitt said the allegations made by Pax were a “depressing smear,” with one Hollywood star stating that Pitt “has great respect for all of his children and it’s depressing to see this dragged up.
“It’s frustrating to see Brad being painted as some kind of “bad person” when it’s far from the truth. He chooses to keep a dignified silence and that speaks volumes,” the A-lister told The Sun.
Jolie filed for divorce from Brad in 2019 after five years of marriage and their relationship remained stranded, with their kids taking their mom’s side.
