    The sides of some of those big artic trucks can be pretty flimsy, so maybe there wasn't as much pressure on the car as you might have initially thought. In fact, if you look carefully at some of the shots of the truck on it's side, you can see what look like the hooks used to secure a tarpaulin side screen, so even less spectacular.

    True, but the the car looked pretty smashed up when filmed from under the truck

    If the truck was empty, perhaps. But as you can see for the video, it was full of goods. Unless they were transporting boxes of air, that much stuff crashing down on top of you would be quite an impact. And as unkel said, the damage done to the car is testament to the fact that it was an amazing escape for the guy.
