No. The meteors you see in meteor showers are sand to pebble sized objects that burn up long before reaching the ground. Most meteors are too small to reach the surface. Meteorites come from larger meteors that fall individually and often show up brilliantly in the night sky. Some a bright enough to be visible during the day.
No one has died as result of a meteor shower.
You've definitely got that right ! There's no debating the fact that the result of a collision is often an impact.
It would be a spectacular sight, but no one has ever observed it happening. I think if you apply the current definition of planet to the bodies involved, you could demonstrate that if two 'planets' collide then at least one of them is not a planet.
Asteroid: a large rock with its own orbit around the sun; most of them lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These rarely hit Earth, but it has happened. Meteor: a small piece of rock, ice, or dust that enters earth's atmosphere and quickly burns up as a result of high-speed friction with the gas molecules in our upper atmosphere, creating what is commonly known as a "shooting star." Meteoroid: a small particle of rock, ice, or dust floating around in space that hasn't entered our atmosphere yet. Meteorite: a small particle of rock that enters our atmosphere and has enough mass to survive the atmospheric entry process and actually impacts somewhere on Earth's surface.

Asteroids and Meteoroids were created when the universe was created or as a result of a collision.
No one has died as result of a meteor shower.
The asteroids that strike earth's surface do not fall from orbit. Asteroids have fairly small masses, so their orbits are easily altered by interactions with other objects. Sometimes the orbit of an asteroid is changed such that its orbit intersects Earth's orbit. If the timing works out so that the asteroid reaches the point of interestion at the same time as Earth does, then a collision will result.

Mountains are the result of the collision of tectonic plates.
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
In Florida, immersion in water or fire as a result of a collision happens in less than?
