Keep reading to know more.
20-year-old Pax Jolie-Pitt, who is the son of actress Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was involved in a scary e-bike accident last week in Los Angeles. Now, a close friend of the family has revealed that he has been released from the ICU but is not completely in the clear yet.
The source said, “Pax has been released from the ICU. He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.”
According to reports, Jolie is by her son’s side, and his siblings have also been present during the ordeal to help their brother.
Brad and Angelina share six children. While three are biological: Shiloh, 18, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15, three are adopted. The adopted children are Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, and Zahara, 19.
“Pax and Angelina are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received,” the source close to the family said.
It was reported that Pax was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and was rushed to the hospital because he suffered from a head injury and was experiencing hip pain. The initial report obtained by the press mentioned that Pax was stable and was expected to return home quickly.
According to the LAPD, there were paramedics called to report an accident at Hobart and Los Feliz Boulevard around 5 p.m. after an e-bike was reported to have rear-ended a vehicle that was stopped at a red light. The rider of the e-bike was then transported to a local hospital as he was suffering from a severe head injury but was conscious and alert.
There is said to be no DUI or hit-and-run or a criminal element of any kind related to the incident.
A source close to the family shared that Angelina was by her son’s side and that he was “stable.”
Jolie’s team has not yet made a comment on the situation.
Recently, Lola Cavalli gave an interview, as she was one of the first people at the scene of the accident and was able to administer medical aid to Pax on July 29.
According to Cavalli, she immediately called 9-1-1, and on the call she was instructed by the operator on ways to assess Pax’s wounds and was instructed to apply pressure to any kind of bleeding until paramedics arrived at the scene.
“I didn’t see any broken bones, I did not see, like, profound bleeding, so to speak. And since I was directed to apply pressure at the site where it was bleeding, I did not see where I could apply the pressure, because it was on the head. He was hit on the head,” Cavalli recalled. “I had no idea where you would put the pressure to stop the bleeding on the head.”
“And it was not a lot of blood. Like, you didn’t see like a fountain of blood rushing out, she added,”[But] his mouth was filled with blood. When [he] was trying to speak, I saw a little tiny stream of blood coming out of the mouth.”
She was in that moment more concerned with on-coming traffic.
“I saw the traffic, because he was right in the middle of an intersection and nobody behind us could see what’s happening,” she recalled. “I took control of the traffic. I started directing it to make sure that he was not run over by another car and I was not run over by a car.”
“We did everything we thought would be necessary to make sure that the ambulance arrived, and [to make sure] oncoming traffic from both directions keeps on moving, instead of piling up, which would make our ambulance’s approach impossible completely.”
This is such a heartbreaking event. We send Pax our best wishes and hope he fully recovers from this ordeal very soon! Share this with others so they can also share their well wishes with the 20 year old!
