None of the field lines crossed, nor should they. They are a line of constant potential and the equipotential can have only one value at a given point in space. If the electric field lines were to intersect, they would render a location with two different strong electric field vectors and so would not accurately represent equipotential lines.
The equipotential surfaces did not cross, nor should they. They represent a position of points that all harness the same, or constant, electrical potential. If the surfaces were to cross, then at the point of intersection, there will be two different values of electric potential, which is not possible.
