Pax Jolie-Pitt, son of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, was hospitalized Monday after a traffic collision in Los Feliz.
Jolie-Pitt, 20, was riding her electric bike Monday afternoon when she crashed into the rear of a stopped vehicle at the intersection of Los Feliz Boulevard and Hobart Boulevard, The Times confirmed. A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said the “completely stopped” vehicle was waiting at the traffic light at the time of the collision and that officers responded to the scene at about 5:12 p.m.
Neither Jolie-Pitt nor the other driver showed evidence of driving under the influence of alcohol, the Los Angeles Police Department added. Jolie-Pitt was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and was taken to a local hospital in stable condition. She had hip pain and reportedly suffered a head injury, according to TMZ, which first reported the crash.
Jolie's representatives had no comment.
Jolie-Pitt is the second of Jolie and Pitt's six children. Her siblings are Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne. A week before Jolie-Pitt's crash in Los Feliz, an attorney for younger sister Shiloh said she decided to take her father's surname from her own “after some painful events.”
Shiloh filed her petition on her 18th birthday in May, but received even more attention for her decision earlier this month. A name-change notice was published in the July 8 issue of The Times, but several outlets described it as if Shiloh, the eldest of Jolie and Pitt's biological children, had “taken out an announcement” to flaunt the name change amid her parents' long and contentious divorce.
“As Shiloh’s attorney, I am required to publish a legal notice because California law requires anyone who wants to change their name to do so. That legal notice was published in the Los Angeles Times, as required,” attorney Peter Levine told the Times last week.
Shiloh's name change hearing is scheduled for August 19, after being postponed for technical reasons according to several reports.
Times staff writer Nardine Saad contributed to this report.
