ABSTRACT:
A front end portion of a side member functions as a crumple zone during a collision with another vehicle or the like. A radiator support is attached via a bracket to this crumple zone. When another vehicle or the like collides with the side member, the radiator support separates from the side member. When another vehicle or the like collides with the radiator support, external force applied in the rear direction to the radiator support is transmitted to the side member.
