PURPOSE: A hood latch installation structure of a vehicle is provided to reduce the extent of injury of a pedestrian to the minimum by making the hood latch and hood fall down when a pedestrian is straight hit by a vehicle. CONSTITUTION: A hood lock is equipped with a striker(2) fixed at the base of a hood(1) and a hood latch(4) positioned on the front of a radiator support member(3) to be coupled to the striker. The radiator support member has annular guide rails. A guide bar is installed at both ends of the hood latch to slide the hood latch on the guide rails downward. The base of the hood latch is fixed to the support member. The hood and hood latch is fallen down in a moment when a pedestrian is crashed on the hood of a vehicle and absorbs shock, and therefore the impact force given to the pedestrian is reduced.
