Have had a couple of similar experiences over the years:
Back in the spring of 2007, something very similar shot across the road
about 100 meters in front of us on the Hectanooga-Norwood Road.
And back in the '60's, saw the same phenomenon in Hebron, near where Highway
1 crosses the Fourchu River, a more heavily-populated area.
Given the abundance of porcupines, they shouldn't be food-limited!

Subject: [NatureNS] Possible Fisher Sighting in Yarmouth Co.
Bertin d'Eon and I were on my Zodiac approaching the northern shores of
Morris Island, Yarmouth County on May 29, 2015, when we noticed a very dark
mammal bouncing from near the water's edge towards the woods. We were
approximately 200-300 feet from the animal when we saw it. It moved in a
bouncing fashion at a medium pace. It was all dark with no discernible
colour patterns. The tail was fluffy and fairly long (maybe half the length
of the body). It seemed to be about 1 m or more in length including the
tail. It was much shorter legged than any sort of feline or canine.
We browsed through a few NS wildlife books as well as the Audubon's Wilflife
App on my phone and are left with Fisher as the best candidate.
I do have photos of tracks that were near where the animal was. They can be
found here:
