Hi Alec

Here are links to the definitions.

Crash: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/crash
Crush: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/crush

For example, one difference is that when something crashes, it may break apart into pieces.
When something is crushed, it might be flattened or reduced in size but doesn't break apart.

For additional differences, have a look at the definitions. ;)
