The first accident left Pax unscathed, but the second, involving his e-bike, was much more serious. “She’d love it if Pax would take these accidents as a warning and give up on this need for speed, but that’s very unlikely,” a source told InTouch.

"[Angelina] wants him to take some defensive driving lessons before he gets back out there, he’s agreed to that as part of the consequences of the crash. And she’s made him sign a contract promising he’ll always wear his helmet," the insider detailed.

They continued, “It’s still going to give her anxiety every time he leaves the house on his bike, all she can do is hope that Pax is realizing how lucky he is to be alive with his brain intact and that he will act more responsibly on the road going forward.”

Inside the terrifying accident in Los Angeles:

Lola Cavalli, one of the first people on the scene of the accident, told Entertainment Weekly she called 911 after witnessing the crash. “I was directed to apply pressure at the site where it was bleeding,” she said. “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,” she added.

One of Pax's crashes resulted in his hospitalization and in him spending some time recovering in the hospital

“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.”

Pax was taken to the ICU, and another source told PEOPLE that he“suffered complex trauma,” and would have to undergo a “long road of recovery and physical therapy.”
