Pax Jolie-Pitt, the son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, was involved in a bike accident in Los Angeles. The incident, which occurred on Monday, July 29, unfolded on the bustling Los Feliz Boulevard during the hectic rush hour, around 5 p.m.

The accident happened just as he was approaching a red light and crashed into a stationary vehicle. Pax was riding his electric bicycle through the crowded streets when, unfortunately, he collided with the rear end of the car.

The scene quickly drew attention as the driver of the vehicle got out to ensure Pax's well-being. It was during this time that the police and emergency responders arrived at the location.

Pax, who was not wearing a helmet, was left with some discomfort, primarily in his hip, and a head injury that required immediate medical attention.

According to eyewitness Lola Cavalli, she was among the first to reach the scene. She quickly dialed 9-1-1 and received instructions on performing first aid to help Pax and prevent any further bleeding until medics arrived.

Cavalli reported that Pax didn't have any broken bones or severe bleeding. Although she was advised to apply pressure to the bleeding area, which was on his head, she noted that there wasn't much blood and she wasn’t sure how to manage the situation effectively.

What Cavalli found most pressing was the danger from oncoming traffic. With Pax lying in the middle of an intersection, her top priority was to manage the traffic and ensure they weren't run over by a car while they waited for the ambulance. "We did everything we thought would be necessary to make sure that the ambulance arrived, she said.

When authorities and paramedics arrived on the scene they quickly assessed the situation and decided it was best to rush him to the hospital. Pax was initially taken to the ICU after suffering complex trauma but was later released.

Pax is the 4th of Angelina and Brad's 6 kids. He has been seen recently riding around Los Angeles on his electric bike, a trend he seems to enjoy without a helmet.

In May 2024, he was spotted emerging from a smoke shop on a sunny Sunday. He looked effortlessly cool in a white T-shirt, gray joggers, and sneakers. A black beanie and a silver chain completed his laid-back look, while his ear pods and a large black backpack added to his relaxed vibe as he jumped on his electric bicycle.

It remains unclear if this name change was made legally, but it marks a notable shift in the family's dynamics. This move comes following Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt's name change announcement.

The announcement came during Zahara’s induction into the AKA sorority at Spelman College when she introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie, marking another chapter in the family's evolving narrative.
