Following the incident, Bagnaia and Marquez were seen exchanging heated gestures in the gravel, though it appeared they both managed to escape serious injury at first look.
Marquez drifted to the outside, holding onto third place with six laps left.
Starting from the fourth spot, Bagnaia attempted a pass.
Marquez's front seemed to be closely followed by the rear of Bagnaia's Ducati.
The two bicycles became entangled as they veered off the path.
Bagnaia found himself trapped under Marquez's Ducati for a few moments as they slid together.
However, he stood up and motioned towards Marquez, indicating that he was fine.
He moved off, the leather on his arm ripped and worn, yet possibly lucky that the injuries were not more severe.
Bagnaia visited the medical facility for an examination.
Less than half an hour after the incident, Bagnaia and Marquez were observed strolling through the paddock area, no longer wearing their racing suits, and appeared to be without injuries.
The situation is currently under examination by the officials.
Defending MotoGP titleholder Bagnaia began Sunday just three points behind the current championship frontrunner, Jorge Martin.
Securing second place in Sunday's Aragon MotoGP, Martin has now taken a 23-point lead in the championship standings.
Marc Marquez emerged victorious in the race.
