After the incident, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen exchanging heated gestures while in the gravel, but it appeared they had fortunately not sustained serious injuries.
Marquez veered off course, protecting his third-place spot with just six laps to go.
Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted to pass him.
Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely trailing right behind Marquez's.
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 he was fine.
He moved off, his arm's leather coverings ripped and marred, yet possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.
Bagnaia visited the medical facility for an examination.
Half an hour after their accident, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen strolling in the paddock area, not wearing their racing suits, and appearing to be uninjured.
Stewards are looking 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, now leading by 23 points.
Marc Marquez clinched victory in the race.
