    Drill a hole in the hood above the broken latch, and use a pry bar, large screwdriver I dont know something flat and pry the fu*k out of it.

    Works good for me.

    try using a screwdriver and see if you can trip the emergency latch inside the hood latch to release it... if that dont work, see if you can unbolt the latch itself if you have enough room to get to it

    There should be an emergency latch through the opening of the grill.

    It has been that way on my car and another I've worked on.
