San Antonio police said Mokrani and another biker, 24-year-old Jeremiah Matthew Lerma, were racing on Loop 410 just before the crash. At some point, they collided and both lost control of their bikes.
Mokrani slid underneath cables dividing northbound and southbound lanes, struck one of the metal poles, and slid into a light pole, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene just after midnight on Tuesday.
Lerma has been charged with racing resulting in death, according to SAPD.
He suffered broken a broken leg and a dislocated wrist and was transported to Brooke Army Medical Center. His image has not been released.
Police said the two men were in a motorcycle club.
An 18-wheeler lost control and rolled over at the scene but the driver was not seriously injured.
