PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect an occupant by promoting crushing of a bulkhead by an impact load in a vehicular front collision and effectively absorbing impact energy transmitted to the body rear. SOLUTION: A motor bracket 20 housed in a recessed part 7 formed on the front bulkhead 3 and fixed with a wiper motor unit 19 in an upper face is an aluminum die-cast article, a slant face part 20a slanting downward is formed in its front part, and a flange part 20b formed in its lower end is fixed to a front wall surface 3b of the front bulkhead 3 via a support bracket 21. The wiper motor unit 19 is arranged in a position higher than an upper end face of a strut tower 10. In a vehicular front collision, even when the strut tower 10 moves backward and presses against the front wall surface 3b of the front bulkhead 3, the recessed part 7 is crushed and deformed without interference between the wiper motor unit 19 and the strut tower 10, and the impact energy in the front collision is absorbed.
