Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's son was involved in a crash on Monday leaving him hospitalized. 

TMZ first reported the 20-year-old crashed his e-bike into a car in Los Angeles leaving him with head injuries.

According to law enforcement, Pax rammed into the back of a vehicle as he approached a red light around rush hour. 

Pax was not wearing a crash helmet at the time and an eyewitness told the outlet that he complained of head and hip pain. 

Paramedics took him to hospital where they reportedly feared he had a brain bleed. But TMZ now says Pax is believed to be in stable condition.

Pax is regularly seen riding his bike around Los Angeles without a protective head gear. 

In California, helmet requirements differ based on the class of the e-bike and the age of the rider. But Class 3 e-bike riders are required to wear a helmet regardless of how old they are.  Pax normally rides a Talaria Sting R MX4 Electric Dirt Bike. A helmet is encouraged to reduce risk of injury.

Pax's crash comes at a tumultuous time for the family with his sister, Shiloh, currently fighting to drop "Pitt" from her surname. 

The 18-year-old legally filed for the name change on her birthday this year. 

She will have to wait to finalize the change due to a court postponement.
