Well first of all the airspace around a launch centre is highly restricted. The only planes flying anywhere near cape canaveral during a shuttle launch, for example, are NASA commissioned planes there to observe the launch, and they keep well out of the way.
As for collisions in space, space is BIG, and satellites are comparatively tiny. Any object larger than a few centimetres across is logged and tracked by space agencies, so they can send their satellites into orbits that will not risk colliding with these items.

that kind of accidents have not happened yet as the launch vehicles have special type of soft wares designed to reduce the impact as the work on same base as radar do that is send radio waves out and get them back so they come to know about any obstacle in their path this data is then sent to mission control center from where they control the vehicle direction
