After it was reported that he was “stable,” a source has said he has “a long road of recovery” ahead of him.

The insider told People: “Pax has been released from the ICU. He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.”

Jolie and her son “are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.”

The ‘Tourist’ actress and her brood with ex-husband Pitt — also including Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – “have been visiting and helping.”

The source added: “They are all very close.”

Law enforcement sources told TMZ Pax smashed his electric bicycle into a stopped vehicle at a congested intersection when a traffic light turned red.

The driver is said to have hopped out of the car to check on Pax before first responders were called.

Pax – said not to have been wearing a helmet at the time – was reported to have suffered a head injury and hip pain and was rushed to hospital for treatment.

Jolie and Pitt started dating in 2004 and married 10 years later – but split in 2016 and have since been embroiled in bitter battles over child custody and ownership deals linked to their French vineyard.

Pitt initially won a 50-50 custody agreement that was sealed for privacy in 2021 – but overturned later the same year.

The exes were declared legally single in 2019 but their battles over custody, as well as their Chateau Miraval winery fight, are ongoing.
