I don't recall now what music played in what scenes. Was it a tenor aria? I recall that "Una furtiva lacrima" (A furtive tear) from Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore" (The elixir of love) played at some length in one of the scenes. I don't recall it in Crash (I see it's not on the imdb soundtrack listing). Maybe someone can confirm.

it might be Adagio for strings.

If I remember correctly it was Adagio for Strings, because I recognized it in Platoon too.

Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. You also hear it in The Elephant Man. I think it's very effective.
