A vehicle body structure comprising: a pair of side frame members extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body structure and configured to absorb energy imparted during a collision in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body structure by undergoing an axial collapse wherein the vehicle body structure further comprises: a pair of suspension support members arranged parallel to the side frame members, serve to support a suspension link member (9,10), and configured to bend during the collision; and each of the suspension support members including a rotation inducing structure (B,M,25,21) that is configured to induce a bending rotation of the suspension support members during the collision upon an imparted load input from the collision being equal to or larger than a predetermined value, characterized in that each of the suspension support members includes a weak section at a prescribed position that induces bending at the prescribed position, and each of the rotation inducing structures includes a pin member extending in a vertical direction of the vehicle and held between an upper support surface fixed to the vehicle body and a bottom support surface fixed to the vehicle body, each of the pin members establishing a rotational axis where the pin member connects to the upper support surface to induce the bending rotation of the suspension support members in a downward direction of the vehicle. a pair of side frame members extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body structure and configured to absorb energy imparted during a collision in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body structure by undergoing an axial collapse wherein the vehicle body structure further comprises: a pair of suspension support members arranged parallel to the side frame members, serve to support a suspension link member (9,10), and configured to bend during the collision; and each of the suspension support members including a rotation inducing structure (B,M,25,21) that is configured to induce a bending rotation of the suspension support members during the collision upon an imparted load input from the collision being equal to or larger than a predetermined value, characterized in that each of the suspension support members includes a weak section at a prescribed position that induces bending at the prescribed position, and each of the rotation inducing structures includes a pin member extending in a vertical direction of the vehicle and held between an upper support surface fixed to the vehicle body and a bottom support surface fixed to the vehicle body, each of the pin members establishing a rotational axis where the pin member connects to the upper support surface to induce the bending rotation of the suspension support members in a downward direction of the vehicle. a pair of suspension support members arranged parallel to the side frame members, serve to support a suspension link member (9,10), and configured to bend during the collision; and each of the suspension support members including a rotation inducing structure (B,M,25,21) that is configured to induce a bending rotation of the suspension support members during the collision upon an imparted load input from the collision being equal to or larger than a predetermined value, characterized in that each of the suspension support members includes a weak section at a prescribed position that induces bending at the prescribed position, and each of the rotation inducing structures includes a pin member extending in a vertical direction of the vehicle and held between an upper support surface fixed to the vehicle body and a bottom support surface fixed to the vehicle body, each of the pin members establishing a rotational axis where the pin member connects to the upper support surface to induce the bending rotation of the suspension support members in a downward direction of the vehicle.
