LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Pax is on the path of recovery but is feared to have “a long road” ahead of him before he becomes completely fine.

The 20-year-old has been released from ICU following his e-bike crash in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, on Monday, July 29.

Nevertheless, a source close to the youngster has shared with People that he will have a “long road of recovery” as he “suffered complex trauma.”

However, both Angelina and her son are said to be “deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.”

The source further revealed that following his admittance to the hospital, his Oscar winner mother - who allegedly sought help after the crash - has remained by her son’s side. His other siblings “have been visiting and helping,” as well, as the source remarked, “They are all very close.”

Pax Jolie-Pitt was not wearing helmet at the time of accident

Pax Jolie-Pitt suffered a dangerous crash on July 29, when he was riding his e-bike in the Los Feliz area. It was reported that the youngster - who was born in Vietnam and adopted by Jolie when he was three - was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. 

Following the accident, eyewitnesses saw him lying motionless on the road and he regained consciousness only when the paramedics arrived.

He was not wearing a helmet during the time of the crash and suffered head injuries. Pax was taken to the hospital soon after the accident.

No charges were filed in the case after the investigation was done.

This is, however, not the first time that the 20-year-old has been involved in an accident.

Per Page Six, he was previously involved in two and four-wheeler accidents as well. 

An insider speaking to the outlet shared, “His friends are concerned about him,” and added, “He's being reckless. They're worried.”

The source continued, “He has had a string of car crashes. It's not great. Pax is a troubled kid, and Angelina is doing her best to help him.”

Pax's father and Hollywood star Brad Pitt is yet to comment on his son's health crisis.

Jolie and her former husband share six children between them. Apart from Pax, they are also parents of Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
