Bagnaia and Marquez exchanged heated gestures in the gravel following the incident, but initially, it appeared they had not sustained serious injuries.
Marquez drifted to the outer edge, while protecting his third-place spot, with six laps to go.
Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted to pass him.
Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely attached to the front end of Marquez's motorcycle.
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 motioned towards Marquez, indicating he was fine.
He departed, his leathers scratched and worn on his arm, yet possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.
Bagnaia was taken to the medical center for an examination.
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 without injuries.
Stewards are currently looking into the incident.
Defending MotoGP champion Bagnaia started 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 holding a 23-point lead.
Marc Marquez emerged victorious in the race.
