It's not especially common, but the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa Bay is a famous example. Similar circumstances - it collapsed after being hit by a ship.

The replacement bridge in Tampa famously added "dolphins" which are bumpers in the water to protect the bridge pylons.

that collapsed almost 40 years ago, which really emphasizes it's flat out uncommon, no "buts" needed.
