A hood body (10) is pivotally supported by the vehicle body through a pair of hood hinges (30) attached to the rear end of hood body. Actuators (40) provided in the vehicle body apply a flip-up forces on rear portions of the hood body in the event of a collision. Wires (50) connect a given part (K) of the hood body (10) with the vehicle body. The length of each wire (50) is such as to allow the wire to be put under tension when the hood body (10) is flipped up. In operation, the strained wires (50) operate so as to constrain the hood body to the side of the vehicle body, and it is possible to suppress the rear portion of the hood body from being flipped up excessively and also possible to prevent occurrence of flip-flop action of the hood body when the rear portions of the hood body are raised by the actuators (40).
