Why will the hood not close on my honda accord?

I had to check under the hood today so I opened it from the inside and apparently the garbage latch inside broke and it doesn't seem to be connected to anything anymore so when I try to slam the hood closed it won't lock, just latches half way. '96 honda accordWhy will the hood not close on my honda accord?Try pushing in the cable where the latch broke. It's stuck in the pulled position. You could drive that way because you still have one latch left to hold the hood closed but only temporarily.Good luck and hope this helps.
