A vehicle structure includes a first member extending obliquely beneath an outer surface of an underbody component, and a second member extending at an acute angle to the first member. The second member is arranged to form an apex near an end of the first member. The vehicle structure also includes an interconnecting member connected to both the first and second members at locations offset from the apex. The first member, the second member, and the interconnecting member cooperate to enclose a portion of the underbody component.
