Pax Jolie-Pitt, son of famed actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is currently recuperating following injuries from an e-bike collision last month.
Pax's accident on July 29 in Los Angeles has led him through intensive care to ongoing treatment for severe trauma, PEOPLE reported.
In the late afternoon of July 29, the 20-year-old encountered a severe accident while riding his e-bike along Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles. This incident occurred around 5 p.m., a bustling time for the area, leading to immediate emergency responses. Unfortunately, during the incident, Pax was not wearing a helmet, which exacerbated his injuries.
Pax was quickly taken to a hospital, where he required intensive care to manage his injuries. The medical team moved him from the ICU after stabilizing his condition, yet he remains under medical care, facing a challenging recovery ahead.
Sources close to the family have shared that Pax is enduring considerable discomfort from his injuries. "He's uncomfortable and will need further treatments. Still, he was very lucky," one source noted, suggesting the potential severity of the accident had he not been as fortunate.
Treatment for Pax continues as he deals with complex trauma—a medical term indicating multiple significant injuries that require a multidisciplinary approach to treat effectively. As he recuperates, the focus remains on helping him regain his strength and health through a tailored rehabilitation program.
Angelina Jolie, deeply affected by the news of her son's accident, received the update while working abroad. Described by an insider, her reaction was one of shock and profound worry—emotions any parent would feel under similar circumstances. "She [Jolie] was shocked and worried when she got the call about the accident," shared the source.
Despite years of estrangement, Brad Pitt remains concerned for his son, Pax. Sources say he is kept informed about Pax's recovery, although they haven't had direct contact in years. "He [Pitt] hasn't had any contact with Pax in years, but he still very much cares," a source close to Pitt shared.
The situation has caused tension and concern within the family as they cope with Pax's slow recovery. Angelina Jolie's dedication to her son was evident in her mid-August interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She shared, "When I would have really heavy times, they would come over and just give me a hug or a cup of tea. Usually, when I'm expressing that much pain, it's not in front of my children. You try to hide from your children how much pain and sadness you carry."
As Pax continues his treatments, the timeline for full recovery remains uncertain. His injuries and the required complex medical care suggest a potentially lengthy rehabilitation. However, with the support of his family and medical professionals, there is hope for his full recovery.
The support from his family and community highlights the resilience needed to overcome severe accidents like Pax's. His story is a reminder of the importance of safety measures, such as helmet use, in reducing the risk of severe injuries.
While the road ahead is challenging, Pax's resilience and his family's support offer hope for eventual recovery. The focus remains on his well-being and creating a supportive environment as he navigates this difficult chapter.
