Default 1998 Honda Accord hood damage - can it be fixed?

A friend of mine was at the mall, and stopped by to show me what had happened to his car. It looks as if someone pulled into the parking space with a 4x4 and slightly rolled the hood right at the front clip/latch area. The hinges are fine, and the radiator cross mount is not bent. The hood seems to be flared up about 1/4" on both sides, up front by where the light assembles and quarter panels meet the hood.

Not really sure if the hood is toast, need a new hood, or if it can be fixed. The damage to the front is very minor, couple of slight dents. Not really sire why the entire hood flared up at the edges in the front section. The hinges are fine, and the hood still lines up front to rear, and side to side. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
