what does "crash at"mean?
“God, yeah, and there you are!” said Ciara indignantly. “They made out we were, like, shagging or something! He had no money, and his driver had disappeared, so he just, like, hiked across London so he could crash at mine. He slept on the sofa. So we were together when we heard the news.”
She raised her cigarette to her full mouth and drew deeply on it, her eyes on the floor.

He...hiked across London so he could crash at mine.
"To crash at" here means "to stay somewhere." It's informal slang. You could say to your friends, "Let's crash at my place." Which is an invitation to go to your home and stay for a while. Usually it has the feel of an impulsive action.

It's a very informal way of saying "staying at their home." So when this quote says "crashing at mine" it means, "staying at my place."

If you crash at someone's house, you sleep there and/or stay with them for a while.
