As OK! reported, Pax suffered "complex trauma" and a head injury from the accident, as he wasn't wearing a helmet.

A bystander described witnessing the crash, telling a separate news outlet, "I didn't see any broken bones, I did not see, like, profound bleeding, so to speak. And since I was directed to apply pressure at the site where it was bleeding, I did not see where I could apply the pressure, because it was on the head. He was hit on the head."

"I had no idea where you would put the pressure to stop the bleeding on the head. And it was not a lot of blood. Like, you didn't see like a fountain of blood rushing out. [But] his mouth was filled with blood," they recalled. "When he was trying to speak, I saw a little tiny stream of blood coming out of the mouth."

In Touch Weekly reported on Pax's recovery.
