Hood latch...

So I was driving and I heard some clicking noises from the front of my hood, so when I got home I pulled my hood latch thing, and it totally just release. So I know some cables in the front disconnected, but I can't open the hood whatsoever, what shall I do...

Well if it snaps open while your doing 75mph, it might break off.
