No, you can't. You could accidentally take classified documents/information out of a SCIF, but not innocently. This is a strict liability offense, so it being an accident doesn't make you innocent.
If it weren't so, then every spy trying to exfiltrate documents would do it 'accidentally'. "Oops, I accidentally put the wrong documents into my bag. Oops, I accidentally left the bag on a bus where, completely unknown to me, that Russian agent with a diplomatic passport picked it up. Terrible mistake, but you can't prove I meant for this to happen." It doesn't work like that; even if it was a genuine accident that doesn't get you out of trouble.
