Pax Jolie-Pitt remains in hospital following a shocking electric bike crash which left witnesses fearing he had not survived, sources tell Pvnew.
The accident is just the latest incident to spark fears for the 20-year-old, whom multiple sources tell Pvnew has grown increasingly troubled, prompting his mother, Angelia Jolie, to seek help for him.
Pax — who was not wearing a helmet — rammed into the back of a car stopped at an intersection on Los Feliz Boulevard in Los Angeles during the evening rush hour on Monday.
Jolie, 49, has been by his side this whole week.

Pax was out cold and only regained consciousness when paramedics arrived. onlookers thought the worst, while medics believed he may have suffered a brain bleed, according to TMZ.
Pvnew revealed this week that Pax has been in “multiple” electric bike accidents prior to Monday’s crash — and he is almost never seen wearing a helmet.
“His friends are concerned about him,” an insider revealed. “He’s being reckless. They’re worried.”
Another source in the know told us it’s not just bikes that Pax had crashed, but also cars.
“He has had a string of car crashes,” the source claimed. “It’s not great. Pax is a troubled kid, and Angelina is doing her best to help him.”
Pvnew has reached out to reps for Jolie for comment.
Pax — who still lives at Jolie’s sprawling $25 million Los Feliz estate, once the home of legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille — was spotted riding around the neighborhood on a $3,000 Talaria Sting R MX4 electric bike on July 11, without a helmet.
According to the Talaria website, the Sting R MX4 is an off-road bike. Vendor sites such as REVRides specify the $4,500 bike is “not for street use.”
The LAPD incident report for a road accident matching the particulars of Pax’s July 29 accident does not specify the make and model of his bike. Asked if Pax could face any charges, LAPD sources told Pvnew Friday that there was nothing new to add to the initial report of a traffic collision.
Pax was adopted by Oscar winner Jolie from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam when he was three.
His birth mother, a woman named Pham Thu Dung who struggled with heroin addiction, reportedly abandoned her son two days after giving birth.
He is extremely close to Jolie, as are his five siblings, Maddox, 23; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, who turned 16 last month.
Maddox was adopted by Jolie from Cambodia in 2002. The star then adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005 and Pax in 2007. Jolie’s boyfriend and future husband Brad Pitt adopted Maddox and Zahara in 2006, followed by Pax in 2008.
As we have previously reported, the six children basically now have no relationship with Pitt.
All the children were home-schooled, sources /confirm/i, with some saying this is a major reason for their fractured relations with Pitt.
“Angelina home-schooled them, she cocooned them, and this was one way to alienate them from Brad,” said a Pitt insider.
Pitt and Jolie have been embroiled in a bitter eight-year divorce that is still ongoing and includes a custody battle over their two remaining minor children.
The 60-year-old “Ocean’s Eleven” actor has been estranged from Maddox, Pax and Zahara since he was accused of hitting one of his children during an altercation on a private jet with Jolie in 2016, prompting her to file for divorce.
Following an FBI investigation into the incident, the Oscar winner was never arrested or charged with any offense.
He has not spoken to Pax since his accident, we’re told. Reps for Pitt were unavailable for comment.
Maddox, who dropped Pitt from his surname in 2021, is now believed to have graduated from Yonsei University in South Korea, where he studied biochemistry, while Zahara is a student at the prestigious Spelman University, a historically Black college for women in Atlanta, Ga.
In November, video emerged of Zahara joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie,” she announced during the ceremony.
In an Instagram post on Father’s Day 2020, Pax — who had small roles in his mom’s Disney movies “Kung Fu Panda 3” and “Maleficent” — called Pitt a “world class a***hole” and an “awful human being.”
It’s not yet known whether Shiloh, a talented dancer, will be attending college this fall, but she has legally applied to drop Pitt from her surname. This week, it was revealed the name-change hearing had been postponed over a clerical error.
Meanwhile, Vivienne, who stood on stage with her mom at the Tonys after the show they helped produce, “The Outsiders,” won best musical, only goes by the Jolie surname, as per the show’s Playbill.
“[Pitt] sees the younger kids sometimes,” the Pitt insider said, “but he hasn’t seen them in a long time as he’s been filming abroad.”
The actor has been working on his new racing movie, “F1,” which is slated to premiere next summer.
Pitt and Jolie are also in the midst of an ugly fight after he filed a $67 million lawsuit against her over the sale of Miraval, their French vineyard. On Friday, People reported that Jolie is accusing Pitt of trying to have her sign a $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement related to her allegations of abuse.
In court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday, lawyers for Jolie said she “was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling” when she sold her share of Miraval in 2021.
“Instead, it was Pitt who refused to buy her interest unless he received his newly expanded NDA, enforceable by an $8.5 million holdback specifically designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up,” the court documents read. Pvnew has asked reps for Pitt for comment.
Meanwhile, the exes will narrowly avoid seeing each other when they debut new movies at Venice Film Festival next month, sources tell Pvnew.
Jolie will jet to Italy to promote “Maria,” in which she plays opera legend Maria Callas. She is already getting awards buzz for the movie, which will compete for the Golden Lion. “By all accounts, she is excellent” in it, a Hollywood source said.
Pitt will be in Venice for his new hitman-caper movie “Wolfs,” with George Clooney.
“The studios have worked it out so Angie and Brad aren’t there at the same time,” said a Hollywood industry source. “That would be truly awkward.”
