Brad Pitt's world has reportedly been rocked by the devastating bike crash involving his 20-year-old son, Pax Jolie-Pitt.

The actor allegedly took a swipe at his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, over Pax riding about on a bike instead of a car.

The father and son duo remain estranged, with Pax once branding Brad Pitt as a "world-class a-shole" following the legal tussle with Angelina Jolie.

The "Fight Club" star is reportedly saddened by his son's accident and is said to be upset that he has been unable to reach him.

Pitt and Pax's relationship has soured since an alleged domestic violence incident ensued between the actor and his estranged wife on a private jet in 2016.

"Brad is distraught and worried over Pax's accident, but he is unable to reach him," a source told the Daily Mail. "It is very upsetting to Brad whenever he hears of one of the kids being hurt and he feels completely powerless because there is nothing that he can do at all."

"A father's inclination would be to go to the hospital or to call him. He's tried so many times but the kids won't take his calls. His hands are tied," the source continued.

"Brad doesn't think that Pax should be driving a scooter without a helmet to begin with - he should have been in a car," the insider added, subtly taking a swipe at Jolie.

Pitt's alleged concerns arose after Pax got hospitalized due to an accident when his E-bike rammed into a car on the busy Los Feliz Blvd. around 5 PM on Monday in Los Angeles.

He was reportedly approaching an intersection and was seemingly unconscious of the car that had stopped at a red light.

When the crash happened, the driver of the car reportedly came down to check on him before the cops and paramedics arrived on the scene.

Pax was without a helmet at the time of the crash and was rushed to the hospital for treatment after complaining of hip pain and suffering a head injury.

Medics seemingly feared he suffered a minor brain injury, but a source told the Daily Mail that "he remains in a stable condition" as his mom has been "by his side in hospital."

Pax and some of his other siblings continue to be estranged from the "Bullet Train" actor amid his legal battle with Jolie over the sale of her shares in their Miraval winery.

Several of the Oscar-winning actor's children have legally dropped "Pitt" from their name as the actor is said to have a "non-existent" relationship with them.

On Father's Day in 2020, Pax slammed Pitt in a bitter online message, calling him an "a--hole" and an "awful human being."

"You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person. You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence," he wrote.

Pax added, "You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so. You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. So, Happy Father's Day, you f-cking awful human being."

Amid their drawn-out divorce battle, Jolie has been accused of weaponizing the children against Pitt, allegedly telling them to avoid him.

"It's extremely upsetting," a Pitt source shared, per Page Six. "She has used the kids as a weapon against Brad … she has separated them from him."

The insider further claimed, "There is a whole pattern: Any time he has a win in court, she hits back with something to do with the kids."

Angelina Jolie Wants Her Ex-Husband To 'End The Fighting'

The "Maleficent" actress is seemingly tired of the back-and-forth between her and Pitt and wants him to drop his multimillion-dollar lawsuit against her.

Pitt sued Jolie in February 2022 for selling half of their Miraval wine business to a Russian oligarch, seemingly violating a verbal agreement they'd made for his right to first refusal.

Jolie claimed that negotiations to sell to Pitt broke down after he allegedly asked her to sign "a nondisclosure agreement that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about Pitt's physical and emotional abuse of her and their children."

According to People, Jolie's lawyer, Paul Murphy, shared that Pitt's alleged demand for an expansive NDA was a bid to "punish and control" her and cover-up "his personal misconduct and abuse."

"Those actions are central to these proceedings. We are not at all surprised Mr. Pitt is afraid to turn over the documents demonstrating these facts," Murphy continued.

"While Angelina again asks Mr. Pitt to end the fighting and finally put their family on a clear path toward healing, unless Mr. Pitt withdraws his lawsuit, Angelina has no choice but to obtain the evidence necessary to prove his allegations wrong," the lawyer concluded.
