Reeling from the traffic stop incident, the woman's husband
(Terrence Howard) confronts the police who have pulled him
over (following another carjacking attempt by Ludacris), and
comes very close to getting his head blown off.

This standoff was filmed on a cul-de-sac at the north end of
Costello Ave, in a residential neighborhood near Studio City.
The house he parks in front of (the one with the Christmas mural
on the garage) is located at 5177 Costello Ave, in Sherman Oaks.

After the confrontation, Terrence Howard drops off Ludacris,
and tells him he's an embarrassment. This drop-off scene was shot
on Rhodes Ave (the same street where Matt Dillon first spotted
Howard's car), but north of Ventura Blvd, near Ventura Court.)

When trying to sell the Asian man's stolen van, Ludicris
discovers that the van is full of smuggled Cambodian
immigrants. Instead of selling them to the scummy
owner of the chop shop, he sets them free in Chinatown.

That scene was shot on Ord Street (between Broadway and
New High Street) in L.A.'s actual Chinatown.

Other "Crash" locations include:

The police station (where Ryan Philippe asks for a new partner)
was actually the Valley's American Red Cross center, at
6850 Van Nuys Blvd, in Van Nuys.

The movie studio (where Terrence Howard works
(and where his wife makes up with him) was actually
Raleigh Studios, at 5300 Melrose Ave., in Hollywood.

Scenes of the marble-halled office of D.A. Brendan Fraiser
(Sandra Bullock's husband) works were filmed at the
Los Angeles City Hall, at 200 N. Spring Street,
in downtown L.A.

The "chop shop", where Ludicris tried to sell his stolen
vehicles was (according to the director) just a set in an empty
garage in ("not the best part of") Hollywood.

Sandra Bullock's house was the actual home of director
Paul Haggis, south of Hancock Park. He used the house to
save money on the low-budget production.
