Bagnaia and Marquez exchanged heated gestures in the gravel following the incident, but initially, it seemed they had not sustained serious injuries.
Marquez drifted 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 glued to the front of Marquez's bike.
The two bicycles became entangled and veered 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 moved off, his leather garments ripped and scratched on his arm, yet possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.
Bagnaia was taken to the health facility for evaluation.
Less than half an hour after their accident, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen strolling through the paddock area, no longer in their racing suits, appearing to be unharmed.
Stewards are currently conducting an investigation into the incident.
Defending MotoGP champion Bagnaia began Sunday three points behind the current leader in the championship, Jorge Martin.
On Sunday, Martin's second-place finish in the Aragon MotoGP propelled him to the top of the championship standings, giving him a 23-point lead.
Marc Marquez emerged victorious in the race.
