Webber's teammate Romain Dumas said the Australian was okay.
"He [Webber] was talking on the radio he knows his name, he knows where he is, it looks okay," said Dumas.
Race organisers said that Cressoni was uninjured in the crash.
"Cressoni was checked by the medical staff at the side of the track and cleared, while Mark Webber, who was awake and alert, was taken to the circuit medical centre for further examination," said a statement from the organisers.
The Australian crashed with less than half-an-hour left in the race. The 6 Hours of Sao Paulo ended behind the safety car.
