Without knowing year, make and model, I would lay up under the front of vehicle and look for the latch. You can use screwdriver to release the latch if you can see it.

You still might be able to lay up under the front of vehicle and look for the latch. You might need to move something to see it, but if you can find it, you should be able to move the locking portion to open the latch.

also depending where the cable snapped you may be able to pull on the cable with some pliers and get it to pop.
