Pax Jolie-Pitt is “stable†after a sustaining injuries while biking in Los Angeles. According to People, Angelina Jolie is by her son’s side while he recuperates. Pax Jolie-Pitt was reportedly riding an e-bike or scooter on Los Feliz Blvd. around 5:00 p.m. on Monday, July 29. Law enforcement told TMZ he collided with the back of a car during heavy traffic. The driver got out to check on Jolie-Pitt, and paramedics were called. He was reportedly not wearing a helmet. (Gordon Ramsay, who says his life was saved by wearing a helmet during a bike crash earlier this year, would disapprove.) Jolie-Pitt reportedly sustained a head injury and hip pain.
Pax is second eldest of six children Jolie shares with her ex, Brad Pitt. At 22, Maddox is the eldest. After Pax (20), comes Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and twins Knox and Vivienne (16). Jolie adopted Pax in 2007, as did Pitt in 2008. Sources tell People that Brad Pitt has “virtually no contact†with his adult children. Shiloh recently petitioned to have the “Pitt†dropped from her legal name.
Biking collisions and deaths have been a big issue in Los Angeles for many years. According to the LA Department of Transportation, nearly half of all traffic fatalities involve bikers or pedestrians. Voters passed Measure HLA this year to improve LA roads for bus, bike, and pedestrian use.
