Plenty - an older plane and a midair collision. Bird strike. etc

It's extremely uncommon for a bird strike to down a plane. They cause one fatal accident every billion flight hours.

Midair collisions are why we have ADS-B (even in my dad's little four-seater prop plane) and TCAS. The are also exceedingly uncommon.

People driving into a ditch, pedestrian, barrier, or oncoming traffic is commonplace.
