Bagnaia and Marquez exchanged heated gestures in the gravel following the incident – but, initially, it appeared they hadn't sustained serious injuries.
Marquez veered off track, 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 glued to Marquez's front end.
The two bicycles became entangled as they veered off course.
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, the leathers on his arm ripped and worn, yet perhaps lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.
Bagnaia was taken to the medical center for examination.
Less than half an hour after their mishap, Bagnaia and Marquez were observed strolling through the paddock area, no longer in their racing suits, and appearing to be without injuries.
Stewards are conducting an investigation into 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, with a 23-point lead.
Marc Marquez emerged as the victor in the race.
