وَدُرِكَ and was overtaken
The wa- on the front coordinates this clause with the surrounding list, and the verb is in its passive shape: the subject is overtaken, acted upon, rather than acting. Arabic marks the passive by changing the verb's inner vowels, not by adding a 'was', so the form alone signals 'was overtaken'.
