Bagnaia and Marquez exchanged heated gestures in the gravel following the incident, though initially, it appeared they had not sustained significant injuries.
Marquez veered off course, holding onto third place with six laps left to go.
Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted to pass him.
Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be clinging closely to the front end of Marquez's bike.
The two bicycles became entangled while veering off the path.
For a few moments, Bagnaia found himself trapped under Marquez's Ducati during their slide.
However, he stood up and motioned towards Marquez, indicating that he was fine.
He departed with his leathers ripped and marked on his arm, but possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.
Bagnaia visited the medical facility for an examination.
Less than half an hour after their mishap, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen strolling through the paddock, no longer in their racing suits, and appeared to be unharmed.
Stewards are currently examining the incident.
Defending MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia began Sunday three points behind the current championship frontrunner, Jorge Martin.
Martin's second-place finish at the Aragon MotoGP on Sunday has propelled him to the top of the championship standings, now leading by 23 points.
Marc Marquez emerged victorious in the race.
