I am reposting my answer. In Hungary, in 1995, Taki Inoue was run over by a course car coming to his help after he retired from the race with the car catching fire. And in Brazil, in 2002, Nick Heidfeld, in a Sauber, smashed the door of another course car which had been there to help Arrows driver Enrique Bernoldi.
I don't remember the Safety Car being involved in accidents, but I can point out that Ayrton Senna's accident occured a lap after the end of a Safety Car period.

I remember two...
Taki Inoue was run over by the safety car because the guy was so angry that the marshals didn't do anything to stop a fire in his car, that he went for a fire extinguisher to stop the fire himself...But while he was rushing to his racecar, he was hit by the safety car and broke his leg.
Also Nick Heidfeld hit the Medical Car just when it opened the door during warm-up for a race a few years ago. Luckily neither the doctor nor the driver of the medical car were injured because they were still in the car when Heidfeld hit it.

As mentioned till now, i think of the only time turn into Monaco 1995 while jap motive force Taki Inoue turn into hit from at the back of with the help of the protection vehicle for the time of guidance with the help of a french rally using nutter referred to as Jean Ragnotti. Inoue turn into being towed back without his seatbelts on, the protection vehicle hit his Footwork, it rolled over and he landed on his head, and wasn't greater healthy adequate to race! Inoue even have been given hit with the help of a marshalls vehicle in Hungary 1995, because of the fact he turn into moronically attempting to place the hearth out on his vehicle, regardless of being a moron. there's a video of that on YouTube.
