Here, calcium vanadate CaV₂O₄ has a crystal structure of quasi-one-dimensional zigzag chains composed of orbital-active V³⁺ ions and undergoes successive structural and antiferromagnetic phase transitions at T_s~140 K and T_N~70 K, respectively. We perform ultrasound velocity measurements on a single crystal of CaV₂O₄. The temperature dependence of its shear elastic moduli exhibits huge Curie-type softening upon cooling that emerges above and below T_s depending on the elastic mode. The softening above T_s suggests the presence of either onsite Jahn-Teller-type or intersite ferrotype orbital fluctuations in the two inequivalent V³⁺ zigzag chains. The softening below T_s suggests the occurrence of a dimensional spin-state crossover, from quasi-one to three, that is driven by the spin-lattice coupling along the inter-zigzag-chain orthogonal direction. The successive emergence of the orbital- and spin-driven lattice instabilities above and below T_s, respectively, is unique to the orbital-spin zigzag chain system of CaV₂O₄.
