Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle body includes: a roof side member including a hollow pipe member and a flange. In particular, a vehicle-frame-side inner end portion of the flange is fixed to a roof rail, and a lower end portion of the flange extends downward from the pipe member and is fixed to a pillar member. The vehicle body further includes an outer panel combined with the outside of the roof side member and forming a load path between the roof side member and the pillar member by coupling a lower end portion of the roof side member and an upper end portion of the pillar member to each other.
