Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted to pass him.
Bagnaia's Ducati appeared to be closely attached to the front of Marquez's.
The two motorcycles became entangled and veered off the course.
For a few moments, Bagnaia found himself trapped under Marquez's Ducati while they were skidding.
However, he stood up and motioned towards Marquez, indicating that he was fine.
He moved off, his leather garments ripped and worn on his arm, yet possibly lucky that the harm wasn't more severe.
Bagnaia was taken to the medical facility for an examination.
Half an hour after their mishap, Bagnaia and Marquez were observed strolling through the paddock, no longer in their racing suits, and appeared to be unscathed.
Stewards are conducting an investigation into the incident.
Defending MotoGP champion Bagnaia started Sunday three points behind the current leader of the championship, Jorge Martin.
Martin's second-place finish on Sunday at the Aragon MotoGP has put him at the forefront of the championship standings, with a 23-point lead.
Marc Marquez emerged as the victor in the race.
