Not really specific to this type of car (I'm sure a real expert will chime in soon) but if you can I'd remove the trim panel from the inside of the hatch - from there you may be able to see enough of the strap to pull / cut it free. If that doesn't work you may be able to loosen the latch mechanism itself enough to free it of the blockage.
Good luck with your problem.
