<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a bending moment in a vehicle width inner direction generated at a rear end portion of an apron upper member when a front part of a vehicle collides with an inclined collision object. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A moment generation arm 30, with its longitudinally intermediate portion serving as a bend 30A protruding outwardly in a vehicle width direction, is disposed outside in the vehicle width direction of the apron upper member 16. A rear end portion 30D of the moment generation arm 30 is connected with the rear end portion 16A of the apron upper member 16, and a front end portion 30F is connected to a front wall portion 16D via a fender bracket 34. When the front part of the vehicle collides with the inclined collision object and the apron upper member 16 is deformed in the direction of being drawn into the inside in the vehicle width direction along with a front side member 12 of the colliding side, the bending moment in the vehicle width inner direction generated at the rear end portion 16A of the apron upper member 16 can be suppressed with a moment generated in an opposite direction by the moment generation arm 30.
