Hood help!

Can anyone get a picture of the hood hinges on these trucks. Long story short my hood flew up, while i was a few yards from the exit . Girls friend was in a rush to get to class so i didn't pull over earlier. Had to undo the spiral thing on the passenger side to get it to close on the side of the highway, as it poped past where it should be and had no hammer on hand. Anyway i can't get it open now its binding against the cowl. Any help would be appreciated. I got it tied down with some rope to get me home from class.

Try using a lever to get it open, maybe 3 or 5 feet long

Put the spring holder thing back on. Bent my cowl a little. The hinges are bent and i'll be fixing that this weekend. Right now i'm driving with the hood tied down works good.
