Vehicle did its job. Driver didn't- messing with his radio - glad it wasn't a stopped schoolbus.

He saved himself a bunch of money on a headstone. Joking aside glad that the 4runner sacrificed it's self and saved its owner.

Yeah - guess there is no doubt the seat belts work well and the drivers seat is adequately bolted down. Passenger wouldn't have done too well that's for sure.

This! ^^^^^ Offset collision. Probably tried to swerve at the left at the last second but not soon enough. I don't know if this is representative of the crash worthiness given its clearly a high(er) speed impact to a SEMI and were it head on would have most certainly been fatal to all occupants up front. Glad the driver survived but it was merely luck at that point.
Edit: Just realized that OP linked the article itself. Yeah he's lucky as hell to be alive.
