LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brad Pitt is reportedly 'distraught' and has subtly blamed Angelina Jolie following the accident involving his estranged son Pax, who was injured in an electric bicycle crash in Los Angeles on Monday, July 29

Previously MEAWW detailed that the collision was so severe that bystanders initially feared for Pax's life. The accident occurred around 5 pm on Los Feliz Boulevard when Pax, 20, collided with a car at a traffic signal.

Pax, adopted by Jolie, 49, from a Vietnamese orphanage when he was three, remains close to his mother and his five siblings: Maddox, 23, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

Following Pax’s accident, sources report that Jolie is at his side in the hospital, where he is in "stable condition."

Meanwhile, Pitt, despite being estranged from his son due to a 2016 incident on a private jet with his ex-wife Angelina, is deeply worried about the accident.

According to the Daily Mail, a source revealed, “Brad is distraught and worried over Pax's accident, but he is unable to reach him.”

The source added, “It is very upsetting to Brad whenever he hears of one of the kids being hurt and he feels completely powerless because there is nothing that he can do at all.”

The source also noted, “A father's inclination would be to go to the hospital, or to call him. He's tried so many times but the kids won't take his calls. His hands are tied.”

Additionally, the insider suggested, “Brad doesn't think that Pax should be driving a scooter without a helmet to begin with - he should have been in a car,” subtly criticizing Angelina’s decisions.

Before the recent collision, Pax was seen riding around Los Angeles on a $3,000 Talaria Sting R MX4 electric bike without a helmet, on July 11th.

California law mandates that all motorcycle riders wear helmets, and those under 18 must wear them when using type-three electric scooters. Additionally, the off-road scooter Pax was riding is not permitted on public roads.

What did eyewitnesses say about Pax’s bike crash?

Eyewitnesses described a dramatic scene, fearing that Pax might have been fatally injured due to the severity of the crash.

When they saw him lying unresponsive on the ground, their concerns were only relieved when paramedics arrived and he began to regain consciousness. 

Although Pax’s BMX-style vehicle appeared to be largely undamaged, he was unconscious, which deeply worried those nearby.

The crash happened close to Angelina Jolie’s home. Initial reports raised concerns about a possible brain bleed, especially troubling since Pax wasn’t wearing a helmet. 

He also complained of hip pain and was swiftly transported to the hospital, where he spent the night. By Tuesday, sources close to the family reported that Pax’s condition was stable, with his mother by his side.

After fans learned about Brad Pitt's reaction to his son's accident, many internet users expressed concern for the father and suggested ways he might visit his son.

One user wrote, "Brad is a real victim of that crazy woman. Hopefully, his kids will grow up and realize that their heads have been filled with nonsense."

A second said, "I feel bad for Brad but he chose wrong and was dealt exactly what he is now living. He cheated with, then married a very vengefull person. Any parent that turns children against the other parent, with no proof, is a selfish evil person. I wonder what Brad's parents think and if they ever get to see them."

A third added, "I hope he makes a full recovery. As for Brad, the words Pax wrote about him are very damning. And I believe him."

One person stated, "Where in the world is Brad? Anywhere is a plane ride away. If he is so distraught, he should drive or fly in and visit. If he is thrown out, then he at least did the right thing."

Another person asserted, "Get on an airplane if you have to Brad and sit in the hospital reception. If you don’t, you are giving AJ all the power and your son will at least know you re there for him."

Another commented, "Broken families leave broken kids. Sad. Hope he heals."
