Authorities say Elvestad was northbound when his Nissan Pathfinder left its lane and hit a southbound Ford Escape.. Elvestad corrected but again left his lane and hit a southbound semitrailer hauling cattle. Elvestad’s Pathfinder came to a stop and caught fire. The Escape’s driver wasn’t hurt. The semitrailer driver, 73-year-old Herman Wall of Burdett, Alberta, suffered minor injuries.
