Pax Jolie-Pitt remains in hospital following a shocking electric bike crash which left witnesses fearing he had not survived.
The accident is just the latest incident to spark fears for the 20-year-old, whom multiple sources tell Page Six has grown increasingly troubled, prompting his mother, Angelina 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.
Page Six 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.”
Page Six has reached out to reps for Jolie for comment.
Pax — who still lives at Jolie’s sprawling $US25 million ($A38 million) Los Feliz estate, once the home of legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille — was spotted riding around the neighbourhood on a $US3,000 ($A4600) 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.com specify the $US4,500 ($A7000) 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 Page Six 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 homeschooled, sources confirm, with some saying this is a major reason for their fractured relations with Pitt.
“Angelina homeschooled 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 offence.
He has not spoken to Pax since his accident, we’re told. Reps for Pitt were unavailable for comment.
