In the present invention, deformation of a vehicle interior is suppressed in a small overlap crash. A front pillar bottom structure (10) is provided with a gusset (50) that is attached to the bottom end of a pillar reinforcement (41). In the gusset (50), a front wall (50B) and a bottom wall (50C) extend from a lateral wall (50A) positioned on the outer side in a vehicle width-direction of a rocker reinforcement (29). The front wall (50B) covers the rocker reinforcement (29) from the vehicle front, and the bottom wall (50C) extends from the bottom of the front wall (50B) towards the vehicle rear and is attached to the lower surface of the rocker reinforcement (29). Due to the gusset (50), the strength of a connection part (51) between the pillar reinforcement (41) and the rocker reinforcement (29) can be improved, and as a result, when a small overlap crash occurs, breakage of the connection part (51) can be prevented or suppressed, and deformation of a vehicle interior (21) caused by such breakage can be suppressed.
