I think they were just 'scattered' and driven off. No mention of any deaths that I am aware of. |
The idea that some of the Rangers died in the action at Sarn Ford comes from the
UT chapter
The Hunt for the Ring.

Some [Dúnedain] fled northward, hoping to bear news to Aragorn, but they were pursued and slain or driven away into the wild.

I wouldn't think there would have been all that many Rangers guarding the Ford to begin with; probably enough to turn away dodgy looking characters, but that's about it. They weren't expecting the Nazgûl to show up, after all.
