You cannot reinforce fear, so please don't be afraid to comfort your terrified dog.
I have found the combo of Quiet Moments soft chews and Adaptil spray or collars to be extremely helpful.
Don't force her into the crate. That will only make the fear worse. If you need to leave, give lots and lots of high value treats, and a stuffed toy frozen with something high value.
Is she still scared of the crate if you move it to a different room? Sometimes this can sort of reset something for a dog.
I would make most of the good things in her life happen in the crate. Put her meals in the crate, put a Kong with yummy goodness in the crate. Leave the door open until she is willingly going in and not running right back out when given treats. Look into crate games, those are helpful too.
I would also recommend dtap collars, the adaptl ones are best. They also make a scent diffuser you can put next to the crate. these do take about 30 days to kick in. Other calming aids can also be helpful, I've had the best luck with rescue remedy. Some dogs also react very well to thunder vests. Once your dog is calmer in general you could potentially start working on desensitization to thunder/loud noises.
If you're American, expect tomorrow (and potentially tonight and the rest of the week depending on local fireworks laws) to be rough as well.
