Eyewitnesses described a harrowing scene, believing Pax might have died due to the severity of the crash. When they saw him lying motionless on the ground, it wasn't until paramedics arrived and he regained consciousness that their fears were allayed.

The crash, which left his BMX-style e-bike seemingly undamaged, had Pax himself unconscious and raising significant concern among those nearby.

The incident took place near where his mother, Angelina Jolie, resides.

The initial report suggested a possible brain bleed, particularly concerning since Pax was not wearing a helmet. He was also experiencing hip pain and was rushed to the hospital, where he stayed overnight. As of Tuesday, sources close to the family confirmed that Pax is in stable condition, with his mother by his side.
