Florida Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median ... through oncoming traffic ... and "collided head-on with a tree."
Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.
Savage's wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision -- but survived with "minor injuries." She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.
According to officials, Randy and Lynn were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident.
I'm gonna spend the day listening to his rap album

Just read on TMZ
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.
Heart attack...

He was one of the biggest personalities in the industry.
He will be missed, but his accomplishments will live on.
RIP Randell Poffo.

I'm gonna watch his win against Ted DiBiase for his first world title. Then I'll watch his "retirement match" against the Ultimate Warrior. He was a lot of fun to watch.
We'll miss you, Randy.
Excuse me, I'm gonna go snap into a Slim Jim...
