The idea of electrons flowing as a current through the wire like water in a river or cars on a highway might be helpful conceptually, but isn’t physically what’s happening in the wire. Like others have said it’s more chaotic interactions between electrons, and not a single electron going down the highway.
The scales that those interactions are happening on as well are so small that any curve that we can observe would be a “straight line” in the context of the electrons.
