A driver's cab is located at the front end portion of a vehicle. A sensor unit is provided on the front face of a body of the vehicle and is located at the same height as the driver's-cab floor of the driver's cab. A floor crossing member extends along the lateral direction of the vehicle on the driver's-cab floor between the sensor unit and an accelerator pedal. The floor crossing member has both sides coupled one-to-one with a left front side member and a right front side member extending along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, respectively, at the left front portion and right front portion of the vehicle. After entering the driver's cab due to a frontal collision, the sensor unit abuts on the floor crossing member, leading to suppression of the distance of entry of the sensor unit into the driver's cab.
