Pax Jolie-Pitt is on the mend, but details are still coming out about how serious his electric bike accident was last week!
As Perezcious readers know, last Monday, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt‘s son was driving in a heavily trafficked intersection in Los Angeles when he crashed into a car. Per TMZ reports, the car was stopped at a red light. He reportedly complained of a head injury and hip pain and was rushed to the hospital — where he was just recently released from the ICU, per People earlier this week.

Now, an eyewitness who helped treat the 20-year-old at the scene of the accident is coming forward to share details of the harrowing incident. Speaking to ET on Monday, Lola Cavalli, one of the first people at the accident who helped give Pax medical aid, said she called 9-1-1 and was instructed to apply pressure to stop the bleeding of any of his wounds. But that was harder than it sounded, she explained:
“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. I had no idea where you would put the pressure to stop the bleeding on the head.”
Lola then clarified:
“And it was not a lot of blood. Like, you didn’t see like a fountain of blood rushing out.”
Yet he wasn’t out of the woods, she noted:
“[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.”
Her biggest concern was that they both remained safe while waiting for EMTs to arrive, she added of the busy intersection:
“I saw the traffic, because he was right in the middle of an intersection and nobody behind us could see what’s happening. 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.”
She continued:
“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.”
Per the LAPD, paramedics arrived at the accident at Hobart and Los Feliz Boulevard at around 5 p.m. after a male e-biker rear-ended a vehicle that was stopped at a light. The patient had sustained a severe head injury but was stable and alert while being transported to a local hospital. So, there may not have been a ton of bleeding, but this does sound intense! A friend of the family’s stressed as much when sharing an update on the A-listers’ child, telling People earlier this week:
“Pax has been released from the ICU. He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.”
Oof. Sounds very scary!
The insider added that Pax and his mother, who has been by his side, “are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.” Meanwhile, other Page Six sources have claimed his friends are “concerned” as he has become “reckless” on the bike and is “consistent” about not wearing a helmet, as he reportedly wasn’t wearing one during this crash even though he’s been in “multiple” accidents before. Jeez.
Sending our continued thoughts and well wishes to Pax as he heals! Thank goodness this wasn’t worse and that he had people looking out for him at the site of the accident! Reactions? Share them in the comments (below)!
