How Angelina Jolie Is Supporting Son Pax After E-Bike Accident Caused “Complex Trauma”

Angelina Jolie is standing by her 20-year-old son Pax after an e-bike accident in Los Angeles that left him hospitalized.

Pax, whom Jolie adopted with then-partner Brad Pitt in 2007, was reportedly involved in an e-bike accident on July 29, near a heavily trafficked area on Los Feliz Boulevard. He was reportedly not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and suffered head and hip injuries. He was taken to a hospital, where he remained in stable condition.

Now, a source tells People that Pax has a “long road of recovery” ahead of him after leaving the hospital—and explains how his family is supporting him through it all.

“Pax has been released from the ICU,” the source says. “He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.”

Jolie was reportedly at Pax’s side in the hospital, and the pair “are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.”

Along with Jolie, Pax’s siblings “have been visiting and helping.” Of the family unit’s dynamic with each other, the insider says: “They are all very close."

In addition to Pax, Jolie shares five other children with Pitt, with whom she is embroiled in an ongoing divorce: 22-year-old Maddox, 19-year-old Zahara, 18-year-old Shiloh, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

Jolie talked about her kids inspiring her during an interview for Harper’s Bazaar’s December 2019/January 2020 cover story. “My children know my true self, and they have helped me to find it again and to embrace it,” she said. “They have been through a lot. I learn from their strength. As parents, we encourage our kids to embrace all that they are, and all that they know in their hearts to be right, and they look back at us and want the same for us.”
