It certainly does happen. Indeed, it's happened a lot more with double
decker buses/coaches than it has from trams (once).

A bus and a tram met in Croydon, the bus derailed the tram.

'We do not know at this stage know how many people were on board
the bus or the tram, nor how many people were in the car,' a
Metropolitan Police spokesman said.

Because even if we take our socks off, we can't count up to four or
five, being the likely maximum number of people in the car.
