According to @IndoFlyer and other Indonesian news sources, a Lion Air flight overran a runway on landing at Jalaluddin Airport (GTO/WAMG) in Gorontalo City, Gorontalo, Indonesia.
The 737-800 (registered PK-LKH) was operating as Flight 892 from Jakarta Airport (CGK/WIII) with a stopover in Makassar. Reports indicate that the aircraft struck several cows at some point during the landing sequence, but it is currently unknown if that contributed to the cause of the overrun. A crash photo indicates the cow (deceased) wedged underneath the main landing gear of the aircraft.

There were no reports of injuries aboard the aircraft.
This is the second accident for Lion air this year, after another 737 of theirs landed short of the runway into the water in Bali this past April in poor weather.
