It depends on how you use it like;

"I bumped into Larry this morning" meaning that the person met with "Larry" but that it was unplanned or by accident.

Or

"I bumped into the lamp and broke it" meaning the person knocked over the lamp with his body and broke it by accident.

"Bumped into" means meeting by accident. Very Happy
