Grind to a halt
"The traffic ground to a halt."
"The traffic came to a halt."
Are both of these correct?
If so, is the second one used more frequently in everyday conversation?
Thank you.

They are both correct, but the first one has a more dramatic feel and suggests a big traffic jam, whereas the second could be used in any situation where traffic stopped.
