Bagnaia and Marquez were seen making angry gestures towards one another in the gravel following the incident, but initially, it appeared they hadn't sustained any serious injuries.
Marquez veered off the track, holding onto third place with six laps left to go.
Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted a pass.
The rear of Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely attached 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 beneath Marquez's Ducati while they were skidding.
However, he stood up and made a motion towards Marquez, indicating that he was fine.
He walked off, his leathers ripped and worn on his arm, lucky perhaps that the damage 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 area, no longer in their racing suits, and appeared to be without injuries.
Stewards are currently 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, where he now enjoys a 23-point lead.
Marc Marquez emerged victorious in the race.
