it's tough. you have to try and reach the release on the hood latch.

If the release lever handle broke: If you can pull on the cable the hood release should still work. Use a pliers of vice grip on the cable.

If the cable broke up by the latch: you're going to need to get to the latch. It's difficult. Having a lift to raise the car would help greatly because you have to reach up from underneath.
