TMZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM ... and lost control of his vehicle.

Earlier this month, Savage celebrated his 1-year anniversary with his new wife Lynn.

Savage was 58.

Aww thats sad, my Dad and husband were both pro wrestling fans.
DH said that "The Macho Man Was A Legend"

I also was a pro-wrestling fan and Macho Man definitely was a legend.

Those who didn't watch wrestling may recognize him from the Slim Jim commercials. He was such a big part of the brand. I think he used to say "step into a Slim Jim."

I didn't recognize him in his older age and with the grey hair.

I was a fan of wrestling in the Macho Man days. May he RIP.

Nooooo! I remember the love triangle and when he and Elizabeth had their wedding ceremony live in the ring. Eat your heart out royal wedding.

We were naming all of the wrestling icons at work the other day and of course he was one of the first ones I thought of. RIP:(

One of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I also remember the love triangle. He was awesome in Spiderman.
