I'd buy the man a beer and name all of my children after him if he pulled me out from under a tumbling dump truck bed.

A beer? Cheapskate! He'd never have to buy a beer of his own anywhere I was.

I don't know how that could have been any closer!

How does a dump truck just overturn on a road? I am going to have to watch out when walking down the road.

It happens pretty often. Usually because the driver is going to fast, and being hit by another vehicle is not uncommon. The video doesn't show much before the flip, but it looks like it hit a car ahead.
