I'll concede it's the more likely option that it's after White, but not a sure thing. White is the longest spanned of the films. Also, much of White is in either flashback, or possibly fantasy sequences, so what is really real and what is not is not as delineated as in the other two films. As for the reconciliation, I see no evidence. It could be that they were just out to toy with and terrorize each other. They are not shot together for a reason. What that is is debatable, but it's an imp. artistic choice. Could they have reconciled. Yes? Or could this be earlier in the Trilogy? Recall that Karol's riches are shown lasting a year or more in White, before he avenges Dom, so the crash could take place in the months before White ends. After all, we know Karol had connections to the other films. Regardless, this is trivia in comparison to the greatness of the Trilogy. Thanks for commenting.

You mention that we don't know if Dominique and Karol from White have reconciled for sure, for they are not seen together; yet I think we have enough clue to think that they really did. The news reporter in Red introduces Karol as a Polish business man and we know that he used to be an hair-dresser before he went back to Warsaw and became a business man in White. That's why, I think, Red is surely after White and seeing Dominique and Karol together on the boat should point that they reconciled.
