“Macho Man” Randy Savage died today in a car accident.

He was 58.

Savage’s brother Lanny Poffo confirms the news, saying the pro wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while driving this morning in Tampa, FL.

At approximately 9:30 a.m., he veered across a concrete median and through traffic before crashing into a tree.

Savage’s wife Lynn was in the car, too, but survived with minor injuries.

Savage was an enormous presence in the professional wrestling world during the 1980s and 1990s, also gaining recognition as a spokesperson for Slim Jim.

“RIP Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson just tweeted. “You were one of my childhood inspirations and heros. Strength, love and prayers to the Savage/Poffo family.”

Hulk Hogan says news of Savage’s death “completely devastated” him, explaining on Twitter that he and his fellow WWF superstar had just begun to communicate again after 10 years without speaking.

“He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he’s happy and in a better place and we miss him,” tweets Hogan.
