Pax Jolie-Pitt in hospital after e-bike accident in LA

Pax Jolie-Pitt, the son of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, ended up in the hospital on Monday after being involved in a traffic accident in Los Feliz.

Jolie-Pitt, 20, was riding his electric bike on Monday night when he struck a stationary vehicle at the intersection of Los Feliz Boulevard and Hobart Boulevard, The Times confirmed. A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said the “completely stationary” vehicle was waiting at the light at the time of the collision and officers arrived at the scene at about 5:12 p.m.

Neither Jolie-Pitt nor the other driver showed signs of driving under the influence, police added. Jolie-Pitt was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and was taken to a local hospital in stable condition. He was experiencing pain in his hip and reportedly suffered a head injury, according to TMZ, which first reported the accident.

Representatives for Jolie declined to comment.

Jolie-Pitt is the second eldest of Jolie and Pitt’s six children. His siblings are Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne. A week before Jolie-Pitt’s accident in Los Feliz, a lawyer for her younger sister Shiloh said she had decided to drop her father’s last name from her own “after painful events.”

Shiloh filed on her 18th birthday in May, but attracted even more attention with the decision earlier this month. An ad about the name change appeared in the July 8 issue of The Times, but it was described by several media outlets as if Shiloh, the eldest of Jolie and Pitt’s biological children, had “taken out an ad” to boast about the name change during her parents’ lengthy and contentious divorce.

“As Shiloh’s attorney, I am required to publish a legal notice because California law requires this of anyone seeking to change their name. That legal notice was published in the Los Angeles Times as required,” attorney Peter Levine told the Times last week.

A hearing on Shiloh’s name change is scheduled for August 19 after being postponed for technical reasons, according to several reports.
