Abstract
A vehicle rear body structure with first and second frame reinforcement members connected to a rear belt line reinforcement and to a rear pillar behind a door is disclosed. When an end-to-end vehicle collision occurs, impact energy is dispersed through the first and second frame reinforcement members so as to prevent bending of the rear pillar obstructing the opening of the vehicle door. Passenger escape is facilitated.
