The extension members each have left and right side faces spaced apart in the vehicle width direction. Each of the U-shaped brackets is made from a flat plate and includes a left-right pair of connection portions respectively connected to the left and right side faces of the corresponding one of the extension members. Each of the U-shaped brackets has a bottom face portion having a sloped surface that rises upward as the sloped surface extends forward.
