Safety device on a vehicle to protect vehicle occupants in a frontal collision

The invention relates to a safety device in a vehicle to protect the vehicle occupants in the event of a frontal collision, comprising means for substantially preventing an intrusion of the passenger compartment defining forward end wall into the passenger compartment by the front wheels of the vehicle. It solves the problem that a loading of the end wall of the passenger compartment in the area between the outer longitudinal supports (sills) is largely prevented by the front wheels of the vehicle to make such a safety device so. For this, the average of the front wheels (12, 13) of the vehicle and cooperating with these means are formed at the frontal collision pivoting of the front wheels (12, 13) to effect with the inner side towards the end wall (8).
