By all accounts the
Scorpion was a disaster looking for a place to happen. I don't believe I've ever read any serious speculation about it having collided with another sub, or with anything else.

I was thinking in particular about the Soviet Yankee-class, K-219, which sank off the coast of Bermuda in 1986. The Soviets later claimed that their boat had collided with a U.S. sub, the
Augusta - a claim denied by the skippers of both subs. There was a novel written called 'Hostile Waters' and a British t.v. movie of the same name, in which a collision actually did take place, which added fuel to the false story. Most film references, like IMDB, perpetuate it as well.
My wife happened to be a supervisor on the "watch floor" at NavSta Bermuda at the time and they were tracking both boats; she confirms that they were never in danger of any sort of collision.
An interesting side-note. The skipper of the Soviet sub, played in the film by Rutger Hauer, sued the producers of the movie, claiming that their depiction of him made him appear to have been incompetent during the crisis. He won substantial damages.
