Angelina Jolie was reportedly 'shocked and worried' after learning that her son Pax had crashed his e-bike in Los Angeles.
The 20-year-old — whom Angelina shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt — is 'still recovering' in the wake of the devastating crash, a source told People on Wednesday.
They added that he was currently 'uncomfortable' and would 'need further treatments' down the line.
The update comes just days after Pax was released from the ICU, when a source previously said he would face a 'long road of recovery.'
Angelina's son crashed his e-bike into the back of a stopped car at an intersection on the crowded Los Feliz Boulevard on July 30.

Complicated the matter was the fact that Pax appears to have hit his head when he collided with the car, and he was not wearing a helmet at the time.
The source added that he was 'very lucky' to not have more significant injuries.
'It could have been much worse since he didn't wear a helmet,' they said.
Although the crash was devastating for his mother Angelina to hear about, she and his sibling had come together to support him in the aftermath.
'Angie was shocked and worried when she got the call about the accident,' the source said, adding that her five other children — Maddox, 22; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — 'are supporting Pax as best as they can.'
A source previously told People that Angelina's son had 'suffered complex trauma' from the crash, and he will reportedly require physical therapy to aid his recovery.
Pax's medical emergency happened amid his ongoing estrangement from his father Brad Pitt.
An insider exclusively told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Brad has been distressed over getting 'radio silence' from his family regarding Pax's condition.
'Don't expect Pax's accident to bring the family dynamic back in any way as Pax is 100 percent on Angie's side and doesn't want any well wishes or remorse from Brad,' the source continued.
Although Brad was 'upset' that his son was injured and hoped to 'help out in any way possible,' the insider said that prospect 'doesn't seem to be something that will ever happen since there is a forever disconnect and divide between them all.'
'It is gutting Brad that it has got to this point that he can't even be a worried dad, as all he is getting is radio silence from finding out exactly what is going down with his son,' they added. 'It is just another distressed circumstance that is part of Brad's normal life.'
'He wishes that everyone could be above it all since this situation involves people's lives, but emotions as they are between Pax, Angie and Brad are so bad that there will never be a time where it gets to a place where things are OK,' the insider said.
However, another source close to Angelina claimed that Brad had made 'no effort' to try to see Pax since his crash.
'All Angelina wants is peace, but he is determined to continue fighting her and blaming everyone but himself for the situation he's now in,' they said.

Angelina and Brad are legally divorced but are still fighting over the sale of Miraval, the vineyard in France.
Last week, the Eternals star accused Brad of trying to have her sign a $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement related to her allegations of abuse, according to People.
She had previously accused him of assaulting her on a private jet while they were traveling with their children.
