If you open Console.app, you should see the Emacs crash there, under
Crash Reports.  Could you upload the report to this bug thread?

I can't reproduce the issue, but I am on macOS 12, not macOS 13.  Do you
reproduce the issue if you start Emacs from a terminal with "emacs -Q"?

Is this the setting you can configure at System Preferences, Trackpad,
Point & Click, Look up & data detectors, Tap with three fingers?
