Vehicle body structure is provided that includes a generally upright frame pillar, such as a b-pillar having an inner pillar member and an outer pillar member outboard of and connected to the inner pillar member. The frame pillar defines a cavity. A load-bearing linking bracket at least partially laterally spans a portion of the cavity. The linking bracket has a surface generally inclined from an outboard side to an inboard side of the frame pillar. The linking bracket is configured to at least partially absorb a substantially lateral impact force and, via the inclined surface, to provide a moment of force that at least partially counteracts an opposing moment of force provided by the frame pillar due to the impact force.
