This action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained in a car accident was properly dismissed by reason of the release dated September 14, 1987, executed by plaintiff and her husband, which "made clear beyond any possible doubt that [its] scope * * * extended to potential liability for damages for personal injuries, however serious” (Sofio v Hughes, 162 AD2d 518, 519, lv denied 76 NY2d 712).
Plaintiff failed to raise a material issue of fact that this unambiguous release was procured by fraud, misrepresenta*81tion or mutual mistake. Concur—Wallach, J. P., Kupferman, Asch and Rubin, JJ.
